Team Canada Speed Skaters Train on Local Wild Ice
Team Canada’s long-track speed skating team took their training sessions to local frozen lakes in late November! Due to an ice-making malfunction at the Olympic Oval in Calgary and COVID restrictions, the team ventured to Gap Lake and Ghost Lake to practice. Read more and see photos and videos of this truly Canadian experience; Canada’s top speed skaters dazzle onlookers with practice on wild ice.
Skating Frozen Mountain Lakes
Skating frozen lakes and ponds in the Canadian Rockies is a spectacular experience!
A prolonged cold snap with no snowfall or heavy wind that has blown the frozen surfaces clear, creates the perfect conditions to experience an outdoor winter activity unlike any other. The window of opportunity is open only for so long, usually occurring at the beginning of winter. However, conditions may come about again under the right recipe from Mother Nature. Lake Louise, Vermillion Lakes, and Lake Minnewanka are some of the most accessible lakes to enjoy this truly mountain experience.
Regardless of where you decide to glide, take the necessary precautions, including reviewing ice safety. Happy skating!
