We braved the snowfall warming today and drove to Lake Minnewanka to ski the Cascade Fire Road. We were excited to see the tracksetting crew out and looking forward to some fresh tracks. Unfortunately, the Cascade Fire Road was not trackset but the Bankhead trail was. Bankhead trail was new to almost all of us and we enjoyed the 2km warmup lap. On our way back we noticed the fire road was still not trackset so we decided to drive into Banff to ski the Spray River West Trail. This trail was trackset but it hadn't been done for a couple of days making some of the tracks not tight. There were lots of people enjoying this trail. The river along the trail made for beautiful scenery. We skiied approximately 6km in and then turned around.
