March 14th
Cross-Country Skiing
All trails in the Ribbon Creek system, other than a small section of Bill Milne which remains closed due to an unpredictable ice flow, were groomed and trackset today.
The area received 15 to 30 cm early in the week and another 10 to 15cm overnight, presenting the best conditions this season. There may still be some low snow hazards present in areas. Some of the earlier grooming will have a couple cms new snow cover.
Skiers for Bill Milne should park at the Golf Course or Wedge Pond. Ribbon parking is open again for all other trails.
Fat Biking
With new snow received Ribbon Creek and Kananaskis Village trails were groomed and are in good condition, potentially soft until some more use occurs.
Snowshoeing
With new snow received, snow shoers can find a mix of new snow, and trails that have been machine and foot packed.
Winter Hiking
Trails will be covered in fresh snow. Expect unpacked snow until people have been on the trails. Icy sections could exist underneath. Spikes are recommended.
At anytime come prepared for a variety of conditions, that can change throughout the day.
Be aware of closures in the area and check advisories before you go.
