Q & A: Banff Hiking and Paddleboarding Weekend

Posted on: March 8th, 2017

We’re starting a new series on our blog with questions from readers. We’ll share the answers with you to help you make the most of your experiences in the mountain parks. Our first one is about Banff hiking and paddleboarding.

Question:

Looking to come out for a paddleboard and hiking weekend in Banff.

-Doug

Answer:

Hi Doug,

Thanks for writing.  To ensure you have a great time in Banff, have a look at our mobile-friendly library of current and past issues of our Experience Travel Guides & Maps:
http://www.cmipublishing.ca/library/

This link will seamlessly open our 2015-2016 edition to an excellent story about paddle boarding in the mountain parks:  http://dig.cmipublishing.ca/i/508413/28

Virtually every edition of Experience the Mountain Parks contains great hiking stories. But to save you a bit of time, go to our companion web site at http://www.experiencemountainparks.com and search for hike and then search for hiking.

Thanks for asking, and best wishes for a memorable mountain experience.

Best regards,

Bob Harris

Perfect Powder Day Coming Our Way

Posted on: February 3rd, 2017

A whopping 40 cm of snow is expected to fall in the East Kootenay area this weekend, but a powder day doesn’t have to be a bad thing. There’s no better time to book a ski trip! Kicking Horse Mountain Resort encourages you to book while there are still openings. Ski-in ski-out accommodations are already sold out.

If you want to hit the slopes, check out Fernie Alpine Resort and Kimberley Alpine Resort, too, which are expected to get 60+ cm of snow.

If you do head out to the slopes, remember to drive with caution on the roads. The winter storm is predicted to last for several days, and gusts of wind may blow up to 20+ km/h at times. Mainroad crews will be working hard throughout the duration of the snowstorm, but remember to plan for extra travel time and careful driving. At the beginning there will be compact snow on all routs until the temperature warms up enough to allow de-icing.
