West Bragg Creek Hi Bob Sundog, Iron Springs Skied this route on Saturday and simply had to return again today. Conditions are wonderful – snow like silk, albeit tracks skier set due to snowfall. We didn’t mind a bit. Used red wax today and worked wonderfully. I say it worked…
…as were all the other trails at the Canmore Nordic Centre Most of the trails at the Nordic Centre were groomed and trackset this morning. I had no trouble getting grip with VR45(rated for -2/-8), and although we’ve had a few cm of snow today, the glide was reasonably good…
We’ve had about 2 cm of snow overnight in Canmore. The forecast calls for 2-4 cm more over the next 24 hours, but it’s not snowing right now. The snow is cold and powdery. The thermometer in my back yard says it’s -8, and the sun is shining. It’s difficult…
Grey wins National Championship 50K Skiers and spectators alike couldn’t have asked for better weather for the crown jewel race in the Canadian National Championships at the Canmore Nordic Centre today. Even the large Canadian flag was hanging limp as 52 skiers took the start at 8:30 a.m for…

Cascade Fire Road Hi Bob, I skied Cascade Fire Road today and considering the really warm temperatures when I started, the trail was in pretty good shape. The track itself alternated between soft and icy. Waxless skis did pretty well, except on the icy parts. I saw a lot of…
Guess what? It’s snowing again. Off and on all day in Canmore. Heavy, wet snow. Most ski trails in the mountains will be covered with fresh snow. Canada’s best skiers will be here March 11-19 The Canmore Nordic Centre will be the place to watch some exciting ski races over…
After spending the last three days in Calgary, I returned to Canmore in a snowstorm late this afternoon. My driveway already has about 8 cm of heavy, wet snow, the kind that’ll break tree branches off. The temperature is -1, but at least there’s very little wind. I’m not sure if…
Conditions at the Nordic Centre are fabulous; don’t think I’ve ever seen them better. Went for a late afternoon ski and got back to the daylodge under the lights, as you can see in the photo, as the kids were having their lesson. Skied up the competition trails(Olympic and Centennial), managed…
We received about 6-8 cm of snow in Canmore last night, and there’s still lots to come according to the forecasts for Banff and Kananaskis: Today: 5 – 10 cm Tonight: 15 -25 cm Mon: 10 – 20 cm (those amounts are subject to whichever forecast you believe) It looks like most…
