Kananaskis Country offers many wonderful opportunities for snowshoeing and this brochure provides details on
the 16 designated snowshoe trails in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park and the Kananaskis Valley. These trails are designated for beginner, intermediate and advanced snowshoers and are located inSimple Class 1 Terrain as defi ned by the Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale. For more information visit www.avalanche.ca
Snowshoers intending to venture off of these designated trails and into more complex avalanche terrain should have experience with avalanche terrain assessment and be equipped for winter backcountry travel. Always remember to check the updated avalanche report for Kananaskis Country at www.albertaparks.ca/kananaskis.
Please practice proper winter etiquette. Snowshoeing and hiking on designated trails is dangerous for all users and ruins the groomed trails. Please limit snowshoeing and winter hiking to dedicated snowshoe trails. On ungroomed trails shared with skiers, snowshoers should stay to the edge of the trail and never walk on skier tracks.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE
Yield to skiers coming downhill.It's easier for an uphill skier to step off the trail than it is forthe faster skier coming down.
Don't walk orsnowshoe on ski tracks.
It ruins them for skiers.Instead, use the edges of ski trails.
Don't park on the trails.If you stop to eat, change clothing,or take a photo—step off the trail,so others won't have to.
Watch your poles when passing.It's sure nice when a skier steps off
the track to let you by.Tuck your poles in when you pass.
When nature calls......and there's no outhouse?Carry a plastic bag to pack out your used paper and sanitary supplies.
Keep the trails clean.Watch out for accidental litter at
lunch or snack breaks.
Don't let the trails go to the dogs.Remember—Fido isn't permitted on groomed trails. He's allowed only on non-groomed trails, provided he's on a leash and you remove hiswaste from the area.
