Crowsnest Pass Alberta, Canada (Nov. 2011) - First snow run of the year!

[rickashay]

I went for a run in the Crowsnest Pass yesterday with a few buddies/CT4WD members from Calgary. Pretty mellow day as we didn't quite get into any of the trails I had planned on running.

Rick,
When I drove through there 2 years ago http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/34534-Alaska-2009/page4 I made a mental note to come back to the area. For all the miles I had covered and places I had seen, this area stuck with me to return to. Hopefully soon. Maybe because it is sort of close. But I did like it.

Good job as always.

That group photo is killing me - I really miss doing the trails you with you'all - I had a great time! You're a fun crew despite the language barrier, eh.

Thanks for the link Brad! I enjoyed the read. Yah, the Crowsnest Pass is beautiful especially when you get in the backcountry, tons of history and amazing camping locations!

Thanks Tim!
Lol, despite all the banter on CT4WD we all really do hope you return to us one day for another run or two. That is of course, after you enlist yourself in some Canadian Language and Metric Conversion courses.

I wish I lived a little more to the West...

Great pictures, I'm ready for the snow to hit the Appalachians so I can do some winter wheeling like this.
