Cross Country Skiing Moraine Lake Road - Changed to Spray River Goat Creek

Saturday, December 20th

 

As for most of December, Banff and Lake Louise was warmer than Calgary when seven cross country skiers decided to head out. We changed our destination from Moraine Lake Road to Spray River to Goat Creek in Banff as the trail report indicated newly set tracks. And did we get lucky. Not only were the conditions great, we were the first ones to ski on the newly set tracks that morning.

 

The temperature was fantastic. It was -20 in Calgary, but only -13 in Banff when we started, and it had warmed up to -3 when we finished. It made waxing really easy! After the ski we stopped for a coffee and some social interaction. Thanks to Ricardo for bringing chocolates for everyone 😊 Thanks to all participants for coming out enjoying the wonderful day in the snow!
