Some mistakes just turn out SO GREAT!
Since it was just me, Gord, Gord's wife and Gord's sister going skiing today, we decided to change our meeting location to something more convenient for them coming from St. Albert. We met up on the Yellowhead for a coffee, where we discovered that Carla had forgotten her ski poles in St. Albert. Oops. While discussing options - go to my place to get Brent's poles (which would be too long for Carla)... renting a pair of poles somewhere along the way... buying a pair of poles along the way... the suggestion came up that we could go skiing in St. Albert rather than going out to Blackfoot.
I had no idea that the Kingswood Park and Riverlot 56 trail systems existed... but now I do, and am I ever glad that I do!! These trails are fantastic, and so close to town! I will be back. Here are the specs for what we did today, which was NOT Blackfoot, as scheduled: Draft Future Event for Kingswood and Riverlot 56.
Thanks, Carla, for forgetting your ski poles at home!!
