Snowshoe at Nakiska this Winter

Wednesday, 06 December 2017 by Cali Sammel

While cruising down a run on skis or a snowboard is a great activity with a major fun factor, there’s also something to be said for the tranquility of snowshoeing through the silent winter trees with only the sound of the snow crunching beneath your feet.  Snowshoeing was first used, more or less as a necessity of survival by our ancestors to be able to navigate the snowy terrain during the winter months (in fact it’s widely suspected our first Aboriginals in Canada used snowshoes to travel to the new land across the top of the globe from Asia), it has taken on a more recreational aspect for most these days.  A terrific activity for almost all ages snowshoeing is the perfect way to get everyone outdoors and exploring the surrounding trails of Nakiska – whether it’s a family outing you’re embarking on or a romantic winter walk through the woods with your boo you can now experience it at Nakiska, enjoying all the amenities being at a ski resort offers (think a warm, delicious meal/drink after your walk or making a weekend of it by staying at the nearby Delta Lodge at Kananaskis just a few minutes away).

Starting on December 15th, we’ll be offering guided tours daily, tours will include a 2 hour snowshoe trek, rentals (including snow boots, snowshoes & poles) followed by a hot drink and cookie for each participant.  Looking to venture out on your own?  Bring your own snowshoes or rent them from our resort rental shop and head out on our local surrounding trails (note to snowshoe on resort boundaries you must be part of a guided tour).

For more information including pricing visit the snowshoeing section of our website.

NEW Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Festival

Thursday, 25 May 2017 by Cali Sammel

In the Rocky Mountains West, a new mountain bike fest emerges, The Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest!

This isn’t a competitive event but an all inclusive community mountain bike festival to bring the riding community together to celebrate camaraderie, share beers and do some riding together, all in the spirit of lifting the sport to a higher place.

The Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest, is raising funds to support mountain bike trail projects not just in Canmore but in the entire mountain region from Golden to Kimberley and over to Fernie, British Columbia.

This push for more and better trails came from a grassroots movement led by Wanda Bogdane, founder of the Plaid Goat Mountain Bike Fest, who sees her event as the catalyst to support the greater movement of building trails that current mountain bikers want to ride.

Don’t miss out on the fun! Check the Festival Seekers post for more background and details on the event. In addition here are some highlights from the official Plaid Goat website;

Here’s what to expect June 23 – 25;

  • Demo-licious Days
    Sample the tastiest bikes of the season from the best mountain bike brands in the industry (add on required – $35/Fri. & Sat.), limited tickets available.
  • Local Craft Beer Hub
    Sample handpicked high quality beverages from seven hand-picked regional brewers and two distilleries, also a free photo booth and more activities.
  • Bike Rodeo
    Hosted by the Flannel Crew, this event features fun spectator events like huck-to-flat comps, adult tricycle races, costume crits and other ridiculous behaviour!
  • Family Friendly Non-Race Activities
    check out group rides, shuttles and coaching clinics.
  • Kids Only Hub
    Face painting, digger pits, a skills & drills area, colouring and more!
  • Secure Bike Valet
    Leave your car at home – your bikes will be safe while you test bikes and participate in activities.
  • Soapbox Central
    Check out tech talks on mountain bike specific topics like bikepacking, gear and trail building!

Don’t forget about the wildlife safety and trail building sessions demonstrating the festival’s commitment to responsible riding as well as partner run fun and friendly events like the TransRockies Race Series’ Rundle’s Revenge (June 24/25).
