The morning looked dreary in Canmore, cloudy and sloppy. At the trail, it was covered with pretty white snow, so it looked a lot nicer, with the occasional puddle. Ran a fair bit of the up in the beginning but had to resort to a fast hike when we hit the steeper stuff. Soon we punched through classic valley cloud and were on top with blue skies and cloud below us that made it feel like we were even higher than we were. A beautiful day. Had cool views off the back with a couple of island peaks poking up through the solid cloud below.
Had an exciting run down, it was steep and the snow made it a bit slippery, you had to keep your speed up because you didn't have enough traction to put the brakes on.
A pretty quick burn up and down. Fun group :)
Followed up with a great Friendsgiving potluck dinner.
