Sat, Feb 14 2009 - Valentine's Day Special Newbie XC Ski Watridge Lake and Dinner in Canmore (View Original Event Details)
|
It was a beautiful day out at Mt Shark.
Not too cold, not to windy, perfect for XC skiing.
The trail in to the lake was initially a bit confusing with all the different tracks merging together at the beginning, then we spotted the little signs to the lake and off we went. The trail was nice and meandering, perfect for a afternoon out for newbies. The only challenge came with the steepish slope down to the lake.
At the lake, most of us lounged around, eating our snacks, drinking out hot chocolate, admiring the scenery. There was a couple of lost sheep who missed the lake turn off and plowed straight on but they eventually caught up. Then it was all to soon to go back to the cars.
A quick ski back and off to Canmore for food, drinks and merriment, wooosh
We regrouped at the Rose and Crown pub which had a really nice restaurant section and there was a nicely set up a table for us.
Conversation flowed, people got entertained and fed.
A delightful day in all.
