There’s a small network of ski trails about Ribbon Creek, near Kananaskis Village and Nakiska Ski Resort.
They’re track set for classical skiing, and there isn’t really enough room between tracks for skate-skiing.
A nice little set of trails to spend a day exploring, there is quite a lot of up and down – and so some nice views as well. It’s nice to ski somewhere different for a change.
More 12 hours captured here.
The last time I passed by Watridge Lake I was 34 weeks pregnant, feeling too warm, with sore feet, and generally feeling as if I’d hiked far enough. We’d hiked through from Sunshine Meadows to Mount Assiniboine, and I’d already travelled 19-20km that day. I was kind of hoping for a travelator to take me home. Or a small helicopter. Perhaps a tame and friendly moose.
This time I returned with a baby on the outside, and a tame snow-shoer to pull along the Chariot.
It took us less than an hour to reach the lake! I was flabbergasted.
After having lunch on the far side, we returned home.
On the drive back to Canmore we came across some moose! They were standing on the road, and weren’t entirely sure what to do as I drove slowly up to them. After running along the road for a while, in a remarkably sheep-like fashion, they worked out how to dive off into the trees (where they glared at us balefully).
