Questionnaire:
This event is best suited for novice- intermediate or very relaxed advanced skiers. You need to be comfortable climbing and snowplowing moderate hills to complete our planned route. We will do a 9 - 10 km loop that includes some blue hills to climb and descend and a stop for snacks / lunch at the covered 'amphitheatre' in the campground area (at about the 2 hour mark). Trails will include: Meadow- Woolley-Amos(around the pond) and returning by Meadow or Braille, depending upon time and energy levels. Please see map here from Skier Bob As it will be a chilly morning still, we plan to keep a relaxed but steady pace to keep everyone warm. We'll regroup at junctions but aim to keep moving if we can. Racers need not apply, unless they are willing to loop out and back and patiently wait for the group. Note: Should the forecast change and the temperatures still remain well below -20c, this event will be postponed until the following weekend. Parking pass: To support grooming operations, Nordiq Alberta is selling day and season passes to park at trail head parking lots in Kananaskis Country. Revenue from sales will pay for grooming costs.
