Hi all, I booked a room for Erin and myself at the Hotel of the Rockies in Canmore from Jul 23 to 25. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?q=-&fb=1&cid=5720985639954740482 I booked at hotwire.ca but maybe you could try the hotel direct and see if they have the same good rates (USD104 per night and room). Cheers, Annett

I'm in for whichever hotel works. Annett: I tried to talk Scott into coming for the weekend with no luck, so sharing a room would work great :)

Good idea. Last year we stayed at the Delta Kanaskis though my bro-in-law has moved on, no more deals there. May I suggest staying at Stoney Nakoda Resort. This is the casino-hotel that you see off the Hwy 1 across the exit to Kanaskis and our highway 40 to Highwood. It's very close to the dam as opposed to driving in from Canmore. Rates are $112 per night.

Hi all, OK, we should book our accommodation for the Highwood-Pass adventure on July 24/25. Last year we got pretty good deals with www.hotwire.com (right now rooms for 3 for $109 per room and night!!!). Problem is, it is like a "surprise" hotel...they only tell you the stars, and not the name of the place until after booking. Again, last year we staid at the Radisson hotel, it was good. I know that the following people want to go: Dale & Terri Brian & Chris Chris M Erin Annett Not sure who else??? Jill, Tyler, Mia, James, Lori, Chris??? I am open to suggestions, would like to car-pool and share a room...so let me know :-)! Cheerio, Annett Erin, would you want to share a room with me?

Canmore sounds good. Never stayed there. Any one have a friend who owns a condo :) or knows of a decent and reasonable hotel? What would the schedule look like? Still thinking July 24/25?

When are we thinking about booking something? Staying in Canmore I take it?

Count me in too! Pray for no rain this year. Been out to Canmore/Banff and Lake Louise the last few weekends. Sure makes the hours on the saddle go by faster.

Just kidding about skyline run, not a good idea for a good feeling IM Long Run workout. But if you do jasper on the July 24th Marc and I will join you all for dinner that night. Happy to see Erion on board, highwood is a great prep for everyone but good for newbies to get a true taste of 180+ km with real hills like Penticton.
