Remember Fortress?

Our day began, drinking hot chocolate with the Old Goat of the mountain.  Zacstracs provided the rest, an excellent AST1 training. Special thanks to Lori, Randy and Monica.  Check out www.zacstracs.com for more information about their Avalanche Skills Training for sledders.

Fortress, a place that takes you back in time. The old lodge, school ski trips, the ridge, views to the cliffs below the fortress, the wind, and of course…the endless view down Kananaskis Valley towards the Kananaskis Lakes.

Maybe one day we’ll all be back…
