Snowing in Calgary but nice in Canmore with a few sunny breaks.

Ski Day 6 Kananaskis
Still warm, but lots of new snow. Not all was trackset, but enjoyable to be outside! I had an early start as I had to get home for Janaki’s voice lesson.

Ski Day 5 Canmore Nordic Centre – sort of
I arrived early and it was warmer than expected: plus 5 and icy. So I put klister on for grip. Well, klister worked great except there was a fair bit of debris, pine needles and some cones in the track. At one point I had to stop and scrap off a thick layer of needles on the ski bottom. So then there was no grip. I double poled and skated back. Actually the skating was fun, but hard to do on non-skating boots and with shorter poles.
So it was a short day of skiing but the espresso on the way home was good!
So the potential option is get waxless skis or skating equipment of just hope it stays cold.

Ski Day 4 Kananaskis
A beautiful day of skiing with Marja and with the bluest sky imaginable.

Ski Day 3 – Again at Canmore Nordic Centre
Not a cloud in the sky. Pretty good conditions and on a less travelled trail (Roller Coaster where it meets Rundle) I saw some black bear tracks on the trail as shown above.
At least it’s a black bear, you wouldn’t want the experience that that these climbers had.
