We will carpool Friday night to Hostel Bear (#1002 Bow Valley Trail) in Canmore. We have 2 private rooms booked that sleep 4 each, and each has a bathroom. We have access to a fully equipped kitchen, with all amenities. The price per night might rise if we have less than 8 people.
On Saturday the ski distances and pace will be established for the different levels of skiers. We will ski Saturday at Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, and then do a shorter ski or possibly a hike on Sunday in the Kananaskis area before driving home.
Saturday night will be a potluck dinner (bring an item to share to serve 8) in the hostel. Breakfasts and lunches are up to each person, but lunch Saturday should be on the ski trail.

Carpool Cost:

The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $232.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 26, 2024). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.
