Itinerary:

This trip is for novice to experienced skiers who are capable of covering 16.2 km with a few intermittent breaks, travelling both uphill and downhill on trackset trails. We'll be travelling at a moderate pace (approx. 5 - 6 km per hour overall) though patient, faster skiers who enjoy longer catch-up / refuel breaks are also welcome. :)

We'll begin near the Village, at the parking lot for the Tramline Trail, and ski up to the lake using the Lower and Upper Tramline Trails (~6 km). We'll take a break at the lakeshore for lunch, and those who wish to can run into the hotel to purchase coffee, hot chocolate or other goodies. We'll then continue on the Fairview Loop trail (~4 km), which joins Moraine Lake Road. From there, we'll enjoy skiing downhill to the cars (~6 km).
