Itinerary:

Let's get out for an easy, slow pace, urban xc ski! This is suitable for novice skiers who've had some experience or recent lessons and want to get more practice in before heading up to the mountains, also for those who enjoy a slow, easy pace close to home. We will ski for as long as we feel like, exploring here and there, so please don't be in a rush. This is not suitable for people who are seeking challenge or speed.

From the parking area off Shaganappi Trail the terrain is mostly flat with a few hills. Working our way here and there, we'll aim our skis in a south-easterly direction and do a bit of a circuit around the flat-ish part at the top of Nose Hill. We have no set route in mind so will figure it out as we go.

-We'll stop for short periods to take photos, have snacks, water breaks, and a quick lunch. Please bring food and drink that are easy to eat.
- Most of this area of Nose Hill is off leash so dogs are welcome and can run along as they wish; however, please observe postings and leash up your dog when required.

Required Items to Bring:
- xc skis, boots, poles
- water &/or warm drinks
- easy to eat snacks and lunch
- ski wax if required
- layered clothing appropriate to changing conditions
- neck tube as the wind often blows on Nose Hill
