I have always loved strapping on my skis, catching an early lift and taking in a day on the mountain whether the conditions are light and fluffy or spring slush. Any day skiing is a good day. Now as a parent I still feel the same sentiments but even more as I watch our children\u2019s faces light up as they conquer new terrain, pick up a little speed, or are finally released from the harness. It\u2019s amazing \u2013 and it\u2019s exhausting. We are constantly trying to balance family time with work, extracurricular activities (not to mention the FUNDRAISING they encompass), and commitment to friends, family and school. Sometimes I just want to cheat on our adventurous side a little and enjoy some relaxation \u2013 I now know we don\u2019t have to cheat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A short 49-minute drive from Calgary, you can do both \u20133 km down the road from Nakiska Ski Area is the Kananaskis Nordic Spa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Nakiska is opening 7 days per week starting November 29th giving way to a winter full of skiing fun not too far out of the city. You don\u2019t have to commit to a weekend away to get your family out in the mountains and on the slopes. With 3 high-speed quad chairs, 2 doubles and 2 magic carpets you are guaranteed to be whisked up the hill quickly to get more runs in, even if you aren\u2019t the quickest down. There are ski lessons available for children and adults alike, so the parents can enjoy a few laps top to bottom on their own while the kids sharpen their skills. If those kids are getting into the teen years and the parents need a lesson or two to keep up, those are available too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
