Day 2 of Covid-19 social distancing. The boys asked me to come skiing/tobogganing this afternoon. They have been going to a hill just off Highway 66 lately with downhill skis. I thought it would be fun to join. When we got there there was already a couple of other carloads of people so we doubled back to look at a hill we saw on the way down. We parked at the Station Flats parking lot and hiked in. It was probably only a few hundred meters to the bottom of the hill but from there to the top was extremely challenging due to the snow. We were easily waste deep. Sam and Ben were in downhill ski boots, which was no easy task. I had snowshoes, so tried to break a decent trail as best as I could. We did make it up to the top for a nice view, and one run only. Ben and Sam were on skis, Ty and I tobogganed.

We hiked back out to the car, and although we were exhausted we decided to go back to the normal spot and see if it was any less busy. As we arrived the two other groups decided to pack up. We spent the better part of an hour there doing a few runs of skiing (Ben and Sam) and tobogganing (Ty, Sam, and myself). Here are a couple of videos. Please pardon my French in one of them. 😁
It was another few hours of amazing social distancing in Kananaskis. I am glad the boys asked me to go!!
