Cross Country Skiing Kovach Trail Via Ribbon Creek / Kananaskis Country


Description:
  


A very popular trail, starting from tastefully placed coal cars at the Ribbon Creek Parking Lot.  Due to the 2013 flood, the trail has been rerouted and easy to follow.  We will then connect with the Kovach Trail that is a shoo-in for best snow, best viewpoint and best downhill run.
