Excellent trail conditions We couldn’t believe how good the snow and trail conditions were at Lake Louise today. The Great Divide had just been groomed and trackset. Moraine Lake Road was excellent. Tramline – check. We even did the Bow River and Campground Loop which was recently trackset and in great…
Get your teams together! Believe it or not, it’s only 18 days ’til the legendary Lake Louise to Banff loppet. This is your one and only chance to ski some of the trails which are available only once per winter, trackset especially for this event. Here I am, five years ago, still…
The natural-snow trails are skiable at Canmore Are you an optimist, or are you someone who enters a situation with low expectations, hoping for a pleasant surprise? After reading on the trail report that the natural snow trails had been rolled, I set out for the Nordic Centre today…
“The morning of the race seemed innocent enough*…” This event is a classic. There’s nothing else that can compare. It is always an unforgettable experience. (It’s the only thing for which I’ll wake up so early LOL). *These famous last words were reported in the Banff Crag & Canyon after the…
