A number of trails have been maintained in Banff over the past couple days. The Banff trail report shows Spray River west side as being packed, but while in Banff earlier today, I took a peek at the Spray River trailhead and it looked to me to be trackset. If…
Check the comments below for updates The crew at the Canmore Nordic Centre had just finished grooming and tracksetting when Peter and I clicked on our skis this morning. We had fabulous snow conditions for skiing, however you had to be either brave or foolish to be out in the…
A winter wonderland on Elk Pass A number of new trails in Banff, Lake Louise, Kananaskis and Canmore have now been trackset. Today we were at Elk Pass on excellent snow that had been trackset on Dec 9. Refer to the specific trail report links on my sidebar for more…
Andrew sent in a report and photos regarding West Bragg Creek: “we did some Bragg Creek trails this afternoon, conditions were fair, as illustrated on the attached pictures. We started with the east side of Crystal Line, then part of Sundog, Iron Springs, short cut to the west side and…
Kevin & Kirstie thought Cascade Fire Road was great Lots to talk about tonight. Firstly, I met this wonderful couple on Cascade Fire Road today. It was only their third time ever on cross country skis. Kevin had no trouble keeping up with me(I’m old, he’s young). Turns out he is…

I haven’t been there since it was groomed, but that’s what the updated Kananaskis trail report says. As I mentioned in my previous post, a number of trails in PLPP have been packed, but are marginal for skiing. The only trails that are recommended are Elk Pass, Hydroline, and Patterson and…
It’s a bit later than usual, but there are a few trails in Peter Lougheed Prov Park which have now been groomed(not trackset) and I would expect more will be ready by the weekend. It looks like the crews are starting at the north end and working their way south. Pocaterra, Lodgepole,…
