The most popular place in the Rocky Mountains today
The skiers were out in full force today at Canmore Nordic Centre. Nov 13, 2010
Excellent conditions this morning on Frozen Thunder. I didn’t count, but there had to be at least 100 skiers enjoying the good snow. For all the traffic, everyone was being courteous to us slower skiers. I didn’t get run over once. I think everyone is just happy to have a place to ski.

Wax worked well if you were classic skiing and the track was in nice shape. There’s an optional steep hill which had excellent snow and made for a vigorous climb and a fast downhill. A few dirt patches started showing up in the tracks later on, but they were easy enough to avoid.

If you haven’t been following this blog, Frozen Thunder is a 700 metre trail of groomed and trackset snow. It was originally made from snow which was saved over the summer, but now it has some fresh man-made snow which has really rejuvenated it. There’s an optional steep hill which adds about another 200 metres.
Just a reminder, if you haven’t entered the contest, there’s a few dates still available Win a SkiHere.ca toque. There’s snow in the forecast!
