Cougar spotted at Canmore Nordic centre
Canmore Nordic Centre
Frozen Thunder continues on the 2.5K track. I imagine it’s pretty crisp in the morning and becomes softer in the afternoon. General public access starts at 12 noon, day pass required.
A visitor had a Cougar encounter while fat biking at Canmore Nordic Centre yesterday.
CNC reminds you to carry bear spray year round while recreating and training at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Avoid riding or skiing solo and always make noise when out on trails.
Three of us from the Seniors Outdoor Club were out Tuesday morning. Snow was soft but skiable with either softer than violet wax or my fish scale skis worked very well! Started at 9:00 and off trail at 11:30. A good morning for a short ski on East Crystal and Sundog and back.
