Best overall pre-Christmas ski conditions that I can remember I thought that was such a great photo from yesterday that I’ve created a new blog header from it. It was plain to see those guys were having fun and I enjoyed talking to them for a few minutes. Very engaging gentlemen they were. Their…
It was cross-country ski heaven on Redearth Creek today. Update: 13 more photos I couldn’t contain my curiosity any longer and headed out for Redearth Creek today, and boy, did I make the right choice. There’s been a lot of snow here since it was first trackset about 10 days…
Life is good. Soak it all in while you can! When you see all those categories and tags next to the blog post title, you just know it’s going to be a good one. When you see “rant” included in there, how much better could it get? The recent snowfall…
Pocaterra Hut is now open Decisions decisions! What a lucky bunch we XC skiers are. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many trails available to us at this time of year. Now, with Pocaterra hut open, I expect there will be a large contingent of skiers wondering about Pocaterra…

We’d all like to hear about your skiing adventures from this weekend. The following comment and photos are from Gail Haines: “Skied Terrace & Terrace link at Kananaskis Village on Thursday. Surprised at the good conditions on the trails based on trail report and lack of new snow recently.”
We received about 3 cm of new snow overnight and it sure freshened up the natural-snow trails at the Canmore Nordic Centre. Banff Trail and Meadowview both in good shape; even Bow Trail is a lot better with just a few thin patches and a few places where there are twigs…
We took Tessa to Mt Shark today and found wonderful conditions. The weather was warm enough that she didn’t need her coat or boots. Every trail had been groomed and trackset on Wednesday. There’s been no new snow, so the tracks were fast. We skied for a while on the 10K…
