Pass Powderkeg Ski Area

Welcome to the PPK, the perfect place for families to ski and ride! Opened in 1938, Pass Powderkeg is a delightful throwback to when a family ski day was all about big smiles and exploring, not upsells and lift lines. We are located in the beautiful Crowsnest Pass in SW Alberta, about 140 km from Lethbridge and just 230 km from Calgary. PPK a community-owned ski area, designed for skiers and riders of all ages and abilities where there's no need to hunt for parking, battle for space on the slopes or a trip to the bank to finance a family ski trip. Oh, and did we mention that we have Night Skiing & Snowboarding? Pure Magic.

We were greeted at the online ticket line by a friendly lady and we were quickly suited up with our rental snowboard equipment. As we were able to book everything online from our boot sizes to ability level it made things a breeze. Maps posted at the top of each T made it easy to pick out runs for my beginning daughter, The openness of the layout allowed me to tackle some more difficult terrain while keeping tabs on her. The cafeteria served large portions and we were satisfied with the selection of food. Great prices on and off the hill made for a great weekend. We will be returning.

Uplift Adventures

Uplift Adventures is a small business homegrown in Crowsnest Pass. We mainly operate in the South Canadian Rockies, more specifically Waterton, Castle Parks, and Crowsnest Pass offering interpretive walks, day hiking trips, multiday backpacking trip, ice walks, and snowshoeing trips. While we offer several services that are bookable online, Uplift Adventures also works closely with schools to provide curriculum-based programs and mentorship experience. In addition, we consultant on trail planning and mapping, interpretive programs, and environmental work. Our dream at Uplift Adventures is to create outdoor experiences and knowledge for people to feel confident and connected to the outdoors. We value building an outdoor community to include all types of people. And our ultimate dream is to create Conservation Tourism to rebuild some of the damaged landscapes from historical mining, exploration, and neglected trail use in the Canadian Rockies.

Spry

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

We're big hikers and so couldn't resist checking out this nice shop while we were in Blaimore. They have lots of gear and clothing, plus we found an excellent guide to local hiking and are looking forward to using in next time we're hiking in the area. The shop owner was friendliest person we met our entire trip, she had some good tips about the area, and just fun to talk to.

Frank Slide Interpretive Centre

Four levels of interactive exhibits and two high definition award-winning shows tell the story of Canada's deadliest rockslide. On April 29 in 1903, 110 million tonnes of rock fell from Turtle Mountain and buried part of the coal mining town of Frank. Most of the 100 people in the path of the slide were killed. First-hand accounts, dramatic images and talented guides bring emotion to this remarkable and tragic event. Open daily year 'round.

Having never been to the interpretive center before, I was amazed. It definitely exceeded my expectations. There was a lot to see, the exhibits were well done, the place looks almost brand new inside. There were lots of interactive displays, movies, and information about the slide, mining in the area, and the history of the valley. I would highly recommend. The center followed all COVID-19 protocols and had lots of safety measures in place.

Allison Lake Cross Country Ski Trails

Reviewed By BenLar137 - Calgary, Canada

Some great cross-county ski venues are quite a drive from anywhere, not here. We appreciated the highway sign, but then had to figure out a little which road to take, as we didn't notice further explicit "cross-country ski" signs. They have a good grooming and track-setting operation, and appear to be able to host a variety of related events. We enjoyed our visit very much. There was some figuring out to do related the many on-site maps (excellent they have so many!), as some links on the map didn't seem to be there. The website is helpful, but you need a good memory to figure out which trails are not maintained because they allow dog-walking. And some of the trails we thought, from the website, would have been track-set weren't, but there were still lots that were. All-in-all, a great place, and kudos to Coleman for having such a high quality facility!

Very nice golf course with stunning mountain views. Five sets of tee boxes mean that even beginner golfers and juniors can have a decent round of mountain golf. new clubhouse has a very nice deck to enjoy another “round” after the 18th!
