We woke on thursday the 11th of December at Whitefish Mountain Resort (formerly known as Big Mountain) to warm temperatures and a mountain 1/4 open.
It's five degrees in Canmore right now - It's been a bit of a weird start to the season: Opening dates were delayed due to lack of snow (and warm weather), followed by a decent snowfall, followed by a deep freeze, followed by a fun week
Today we went out in search of some spring turns, and Old Man Winter decided to show up instead. It's been a little while since we've posted anything from the backcountry, but we thought this trip to Kananaskis Country was worth it.
This was a day that was filled with pleasant surprises. We left Fernie early Friday morning, escaping the cold temperatures and brisk winds in search of snow.
