Two free passes to Canmore Nordic Centre

Canmore Nordic Centre

I have two free adult passes(valued at $10 each) to give away to someone who would like to ski at the Canmore Nordic Centre. With recent snow and cooler weather, conditions at the CNC this weekend should be superb.

A couple rules: you must be a first-year skier, or have never skied at the nordic centre before. Send me an email, with “Free Passes” in the subject line, and I’ll pick a name from any entries I receive by 10 pm tonight. Use the  Contact Bob form to email me.

I see that SkiHere.ca readers must have reserved all the seats for the Wolverine talk in Calgary tomorrow(Thurs) night. Luckily, I’m back in Canmore and will be able to go to the talk being held here tonight. The Wolverine Way

The Cookie Race (Kananaskis Ski Marathon) goes this Saturday in PLPP. I’m really going to miss skiing in it this year. It looks like conditions should be excellent, although the weather forecast is predicting snow for Saturday. It never hurts to have a little fresh snow in the tracks to slow down those faster skiers. Registration ends at 8pm today.

Ski guide books

February 21, 2012

Hi Bob, Love the blog, check it every week! I was wondering if you know of any good XC trail books for the Rockies. I have found good hiking, biking and touring skiing books but never a good XC book. Hope your recovery is going well.

The recent snowfall has enabled the tracksetters to get back to work. I’m sure the 7 – 12 cm that fell at West Bragg will make for a lot of happy skiers this weekend.

It’s snowing in Calgary, I can’t say what It’s doing in Canmore, but there is 5 – 10 cm in the forecast. Let’s hope it materializes, as it should be enough to refresh a lot of trails. This looks like

Pole dragging

This post was also known as “ Man drags poles, creates cloud of snow, which is funny to watch, but he isn’t doing anything wrong. After trying to go slow, he decides to race when passed by a girl.”
