Wildlife Tracking for Backcountry Skiers - 7 pm Wednesday February 15th 2012 - Canmore Seniors Center, 600 9th Street, Canmore

Ever wondered what those beautiful fresh tracks are when you're out backcountry skiing or on the nordic trails?  We are very excited to have Simon Ham, a renowned Parks Canada tracking expert, coming to show how to recognize the wildlife that is all around us in the backcountry, and to understand the stories that those tracks are telling us.

The RMS now has Thursday climbing at the Vsion gym.  Members can sign up for either an afternoon session (1 -4 pm) OR an evening session (6-11 pm).  Sorry, not both!

88 new trips offered by our (wonderful) trip leaders for this Fall and Winter...
It's time to signup!

Have a look at the 21 winning photographs of our RMS'11 Photo contest!
Congrats to the winners and to Andrea Petzold for the contest organization!
