By Jeremy Derksen / SnowSeekers.ca Lac La Biche, AB  – Snowmobiling through willow stands and old birch along Tom’s Trail (one of a handful of locally known cut trails), Heather Maekelburger wraps her arms around David Schultz and leans in, while he navigates the hairpin turns. Soon the trail opens out onto a bay of Lac La Biche and they both grin as Schultz opens it up, the engine growling to life as they skim across the bay. As they …

By Jeremy Derksen Credit: Paul Lavoie / SnowSeekers Vermilion, AB – Outside of Canmore, few places are as connected to Alberta’s nordic scene as Vermilion.

She took her first lessons with Walter Scott (father of Beckie Scott). “I needed an unstructured sport in the winter you could just go do,” she recalls. “I live right …

Go Hut to Hut Cross-Country Skiing in Lac La Biche

Cody Cross Country Skiing, Highway 55, Lac La Biche Region, Northeast of Edmonton, Outdoor Adventures, Parks & Trails, Winter Adventures

Jeremy Derksen for #SkiNorthAB Although you can still see the town of Lac La Biche in the distance if you squint carefully, Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park is separated from the town’s daily bustle – if you can call it that. And that is the key to its appeal: once you cross the bridge to the island, you are disconnected both literally and figuratively. No traffic, few if any people, and absolute quiet. It’s the perfect place to discover – …
