Having finished our animal-spotting frenzy at Vermilion Lakes, we made our way to Canmore, where Judith has booked us in for a classic Nordic skiing lesson at the Canmore Nordic Skiing Centre.
It’s the first time I will have ever been on skis (albeit of the skinny, cross-country variety rather than the more conventional downhill variety), but I am immediately reminded of why I so despise everything skiing related. The private lesson itself was about £80, which seemed okay (and it would have been about £60 to participate in a group lesson). However, when we arrived we were immediately asked if we needed skis. Obviously we needed skis. If we had our own skis, why on earth would we need a skiing lesson? So they were £25 to rent for two hours. And having paid for the lesson and the skis, presumably we’d be wanting to ski then? Er, yes. Ah, you’ll be needing a ski pass then. There’s another £25. Ridiculous.
