Valentine's Day - Cross Country Skiing Blueberry Hill Via Elk Pass / Kananaskis

About this event

Description:

?? Come join me for a Valentine's Day Ski on February 14th. ??

There is no doubt that Blueberry Hill and Elk Pass on the Great Divide is the most popular destination in the park. It isn't the environs of the pass or the views which attract, but rather the character of the trail itself coupled with consistently excellent snow conditions, which draws skiers back to Blueberry Hill and Elk Pass long after the snow has melted from low down the trail.
