Is it really spring?

Normally, the Rockies in Alberta tend to be in peak winter condition in March. But it this winter is not normal! So, you just take advantage of whatever it throws you. Yesterday we were mountain biking on the dry side of the Bow Valley in Canmore (Horseshoe and G8). There was a wee bit of mud, and a whole lot of fun. As I write, it is +20C on my deck! Just finished a road ride along the (recently swept) Legacy Trail, and then over to Lake Minnewanka (pictured above). Obviously the lake is still iced over, but I don't think for long. Certainly a beautiful day! I did see a couple of new big horn sheep lambs near the lake. They didn't hang around long enough for me to snap a picture. I think mom was calling.

Thinking about a back country ski tour this weekend....
