Sightseeing  :  Canada  :  Alberta  :  Canmore  :  Ski & Snow

Explore the Rocky Mountains of Canada while learning to Nordic ski! Enjoy beginner lessons over flat terrain or an intermediate hills course. Lessons are catered to your needs. Your guides have explored the Canadian Rockies for decades and have a background in earth sciences, ecotourism and adventure. Meet at the Canmore Visitor Information Centre at 8am to fill out waivers and complete an orientation for the day. From the visitor centre, you'll head over to get ski rentals for the day, then convoy one hour to one of three groomed and track-set nordic ski areas in Kananaskis Country. The drive is well worth the views! From the trailhead you'll spend the rest of the day outside learning to ski, while enjoying the wilderness of the Rockies!

Participants are required to arrange their own transportation, bring a backpack with water, lunch and warm clothes for the day, winter temperatures can reach well below -20 celsius in the Rockies. Lunch can be in the wilderness or in a warm atmosphere!
