Cross-Country Skiing
Mar 13th: Kananaskis Village trails groomed this morning after 8 to 13cm new snow. Snow fell over a base that had been very effected and reduced in warm weather last week. Tracks are lifted in some low snow areas and in some areas the icy base underneath will be felt. Terrace to Ribbon parking in particular has a very thin base being at a lower elevation.
Snowshoeing and Fat biking
Mar 13th: Expect snow covered trails from the 8-13 cms that fell the past few days, though less will have fallen onto these trails.
Always come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change suddenly throughout the day. You may want to consider bringing hiking poles, micro spikes, toques, gloves and multiple layers.
Be aware of closures in the area and check advisories before you go.
Closures:
Pigeon Mountain: Closed Dec 1 - Jun 15 for protection of critical winter range for elk and bighorn sheep.
West Wind Valley: Closed Dec 1 - Jun 15 for protection of critical winter range for elk and bighorn sheep.
