Options:

Skiers: Eric and Al skied there recently and report that there is good track skiing on the trails. Snow making equipment has been busy ever night. We can get a good ski in but will go around again on Banff and Bow Trails twice as many of the other trails are not so good yet. Do come out and join us. It’s not ideal there yet, but not ideal many other places yet either. So let’s give it a go. We’ll have fun anyway. Cost is $15/day for Seniors.

Snowshoers and walkers:   All hikers will be dropped off at the Nordic Centre and walk into town.

Please note that winter trips are subject to change as necessary.
