Trails in the Canmore area typically hold snow throughout the winter but those found on south facing slopes, particularly in open areas, may prove to viable hiking options even in the winter months. If looking for hiking, consider trails on the north side of the valley.
Please note that in Kananaskis Country throughout the winter months, south and west facing slopes are blasted by prevailing winds, depositing snow on north and east facing slopes which can increase the possibility of avalanches originating on these loaded slopes. Please ensure you consult the Kananaskis Country Avalanche Report prior to venturing out.
Depending on your objective, you may want to consider packing headlamps, hiking poles, toques and gloves, appropriate outerwear, ice aces and avalanche equipment.
