Last weekend was fabulous. I spent the weekend in the south part of the province in the Castle area getting some miles in on the road bike. The terrain for road and mountain biking down there is impressive. The foothills provide lots of rolling hills that are steep and long enough to put some hurt in the legs and blow out the lungs. Add in a bit of wind, and it does get windy there, and you can get in some awesome training.
The hills still have lots of snow. Even at lower elevations, the snow will still be an issue on North facing slopes and shady areas. If the weather forecast holds, we're in for some good temperatures in the coming week.
Travel locally seems to be limited to the low lying areas around Kananaskis. A report from Jewel Pass from a friend suggest there is still 2 feet of snow at elevations over 1200m.
Hopefully things start to dry out soon.

Scambles data
The Scrambles data for the Canadian Rockies has been out for a few days now and we're starting to get some feedback although not much. The few comments we've received are positive in that we have good coverage and they like the route information. Some peaks don't have all three authors so you might only see two and sometimes one scramble icon on top. Almost all of the scrambles that are covered in Alan Kanes book have been covered so the coverage is very good. We could use more data in the Jasper area.

My first Blog
Well, this blogging stuff seems to be pretty popular, so of course we should fall into line and have a blog site.
Hopefully you can find others who are using Mapitfirst and can connect with them through this site.
