Itinerary:

Help out your fellow Calgarians to go ski, snowshoe, raft, cycle, hike and camp in the magnificent Canadian Rockies without having to drive so far to get there!

It will permit the nearsighted and senior populations to more easily see the mountains, unaided.

We can build on our past success which include the simulated WEM 300 km moving job and the EOC's Calgary Tower project.

Job is best completed before Alberta's spring thaw because stuff like big mountains probably slides better across the ice and snow.

We don't need to move the entire bulk but just the mountainous 1-km thick surface overburden (including its lakes and forests) which already is above Calgary's elevation. So all the movement will be downslope.

I will be the referee that decides if we're moving the mountains far - or fast - enough ☺

How many pickup trucks can your guests provide?
