Blueberry Hill Ski

---

Kelly Wood and I skied up Blueberry Hill in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park on 16 February 2004.  This was our fourth trip up there, and although the sky was overcast, the ski conditions were excellent as usual.  It took us less than two hours to ski to the top from the Elk Pass trailhead (about 8 km one way), and the fabulous return trip took only 50 minutes.  This wasn't a particularly ambitious outing for us, but the skiing was a lot of fun nonetheless.

	This is Mount Fox as seen from the Elk Pass trail near the Blueberry Hill junction.  The east ridge (scrambler's route) is visible at left.
	Kelly skis the nicely groomed trail en route to Blueberry Hill.
	Mount Fox's east ridge doesn't look quite as intimidating from this angle.
	Sonny's first trip here was in 1996.  He notices that the trees are seemingly bigger now and are beginning to obscure some of the views across Upper Kananaskis Lake.
