Cross-Country Skiing
Jan 20th: Kananaskis Village trails refreshed this morning. Expect generally firmer and faster conditions.
Bill Milne and Wedge Connector trackset a few days ago with tracks lifted in a few low snow areas. Conditions improve south of Kananaskis River on Bill Milne.
Skogan Pass, Ribbon Creek, and Coal Mine trails not recommended at the moment with a mix of hazards such as low snow and icy conditions.
