Saturday 26th: Tent Ridge
Club Hike! Tent Ridge, Kananaskis. This is a family day hike with all skiers in the TA, T2T and LC programs so make sure you put it on the calendar so you can join us! T2T and LC skiers will head off to do a loop, TA skiers will head up and back the shorter ridge with the aim of having lunch in around about the same spot, some where on the ridge. It’s an excellent hike, not too challenging although if you’re afraid of heights it will be since you walk along the ridge line of the mountain.Views are great from the ridge!

*Where the session says parents welcome this means just parents, not younger siblings. Where the sessions says family welcome, come one come all!

Wow, what an action packed and fun first month! 😛 😛

Good Character is more to be praised than outstanding talent.
Most talents are to some extent a gift.
Good character by contrast is not given to us.
We have to build it piece by piece by thought, choice, courage and determination.

The group will divide into smaller groups moving at different paces so everyone should be able to find a speed they are comfortable with. Parents are most welcome to join us!

Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step;
only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road.
