Canmore Nordic Centre

Tonight at Canmore Nordic Centre

I was happy to read this trip report from Bev:

“This afternoon Canmore Nordic Centre groomed the section leading out from the lower parking access up Banff trail. This section had snow guns on it for a very long time. The grooming joins the old Banff road (part of last week’s Alberta cup route), goes below the frozen thunder sawdust, then does a loop back. A nice addition.”

Mounds of snow on Banff trail

After reading Bev’s trip report, I went to the nordic centre and took a few photos this evening. From the sounds of the CNC trail report, they will have some public skiing available during the IPC World Cup.

CNC Trail Report:

Event Note: Frozen Thunder will be closed on Friday Dec 8th until 2pm and Dec 9-17th for the IPC Para-Nordic World Cup. Banff Trail will be partially closed (Dates TBA).

  1. Does this mean the Nordic Center is closed in the evening as well from the 9-17th and is unavailable for any skiing at all? Or just not available during the day?

    • I called this morning and received the following information:

      After the day’s competitions are over, all the trails will be open to public skiing until 9 p.m.

      During the competitions, there will be a limited amount of terrain on Banff trail open to the public except on the days when they are using Banff trail for the sit-ski races. They haven’t got the exact dates for the sit-ski races yet.
