Just a reminder that it may be prudent to take bear spray with you at this time of year. I took this photo on April 12, 2006 on Tyrwhitt. Where do you think the exact location was? Where do you think a hungry bear would be? It was right around…
PLPP Today may have been the best conditions we’ve ever seen on Tyrwhitt and Hydroline. No spring-like conditions here. This was winter – at its very best. It was absolutely fantastic on the south trails of PLPP – Whiskey Jack, Tyrwhitt, Elk Pass, Hydroline, Patterson, Blueberry, Fox Creek and Boulton…
Beautiful new grooming today on the Wedge Connector, Bill Milne, and Evan-Thomas Fire Road. If you’d like to experience some different trails in the Kananaskis Village area, stop at Wedge Pond sometime and ski these easy and fun trails. There’s been tons of new snow since they were last groomed, so Jeff…
Feeling the Love… Estelle from Spain and Roberta from Italy were enjoying a beautiful day on the Spray River trail. Feb 14, 2011 The Spray River west side had been trackset earlier today. I saw from the trail reports that some grooming had been done in PLPP and Ribbon…
A new trail to explore The Banff Trail report showed Bewster Creek was trackset on Monday, compelling us to check out this trail which ends at the Sundance Lodge. Starting from the Healy Creek trailhead at the Sunshine turn-off, it’s 10K one way. It was the first time ever that we’ve skied this…

Ecstacy! I was elated to be back skiing on Tyrwhitt today. Groomed and trackset yesterday, it already had a couple cm of fresh snow. A few other skiers had been up here today, so the tracks were skied-in. PLPP has lots of new snow everywhere from the storm that blew…
We all like to hear reports of the trail conditions. Please leave a comment or send me an email if you were skiing today. The Banff Trail Report shows Goat Creek is now trackset. It was a gorgeous day at Ribbon Creek. I skied there and can tell you the conditions…
A hard day on the ski trails Well, hard to stop skiing, that is. Seriously, folks, it was one of the best days ever. I started out on the Cascade Fire Road around 12:30. The air temp was -8 and it seemed like summer. The snow was still cold enough…
Warmer weather on the way Update Nov 25: Banff Trail and Banff Trail Loop have been trackset It had warmed up to a balmy -18 this afternoon at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Most of the trails near the biathlon range with man-made snow are in excellent shape, groomed for skating and…
