A short and fast day on the trails. A bit chilly but sunny.
First day of 2016. Cool, with great tracks and lots of sunshine in Kananaskis.
On the twelfth ski day of the season …
I woke up very early so packed the gear and drove to Canmore. It was dark when I arrived and the moon was setting behind Mount Rundle.
Snowing in Calgary in the morning for a White Christmas. About 3 cm at Canmore and -13 °C. Snowing lightly. Like it’s winter! We did a short ski to get home for Christmas preparations.
But please do drive carefully for the road conditions including black ice or just generally slipperiness!
I love the clouds and the colours of the sky while driving up.
It was the coldest day yet, and I think colder than all the days last year. I started at Pocaterra in Kananaskis with -18 °C and when I returned in the afternoon it was -10 °C.
The view above is up the trail to Blueberry Hill. I stopped here for a brief snack and water and the usual visitors were there making sure no crumbs were left on the snow!
