As part of Alberta’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, public access to our outdoor spaces is open, however Alberta Parks indoor facilities and permanent outdoor shelters within Kananaskis are closed to public access.
West Bragg Creek trails are a mixed bag at this time, with 20 to 40 centimeters of snow having covered much of the system before the recent chinook brought significant melting. Expect icy conditions on most trails. Please avoid using the ski trails until a deeper base falls, in order to prevent damage to the trails.
The SkiTrails Live Grooming Report is not functioning across North America so Greater Bragg Creek Trails Association asks users to check their website for detailed condition reports before choosing their route, in order to preserve the tread of the trails not yet ready for heavier use.
Be aware as most trails have seen a substantial increase of users over the summer, and this trend appears to be continuing into the winter. Practice physical distancing where possible, and use masks when it isn't possible to distance. Use caution at stream crossings. As well, watch for slippery sections, overhanging or downed trees, and other natural hazards.
