Snow in the Kananaskis??? WTF!

After getting back to Calgary from a weekend of spring corn in Fernie, I was ready to give up on winter. Listening to Dre talk about climbing the whole trip, made me start thinking about summer, SHAME. Then, out of nowhere mother nature slapped me back to my senses and it snowed 24 cm's in Kananaskis! Being completely caught with my snow pants down I scrambled to get out of the city! With no real plan I headed for the safety of Black Prince and the tree trinagle. It seems like the snow caught everyone off guard and I shared the area with only one other party, crazy. After four laps I was full. I have to mention that on my third lap I was able to find an area that didn't have a wicked sun crust sitting under the ligth 24 cm's of fresh. I easily punch through a very thin crust into bottomless facets, topped by 24 cm's of blower snow and experienced some of the deepest turns this season!

First in.

When you look this cool, people don't follow you.

The goods.

Ready to drop in.


Some cool trees I passed.
