[@AliceFordAdventures]

What winter adventure sport have you never tried but really want to? I'll go first.. Skijoring

[@brianjohnston6132]

ice climbing

[@yobwoc1000]

mud run, if that counts lol

[@jaymontgomery3330]

Snowmobiling...hear it's a blast.

[@ScottAMontague]

I love skijoring! We just spent 3 weeks doing it nearly every day over Christmas including at Pipestone (Lake Louise, Banff); Yoho Road & Lake OHara (Field, Yoho); and the most gorgeous Mt. Shark (Kananaskis)

[@AliceFordAdventures]

It sure was. Cold and challenging but very fun

[@aziz-or7lu]

Love this place😻

[@DanOCan]

Haven’t had a chance to sit down and watch the video yet but I know I’ll love it because I love your filming style and, living just an hour from Banff, I know the scenery will be great. Hope you enjoyed our province.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Dan I loved it! I went years ago in the summer so this was my first time experiencing the winter wonderland

[@jimowens9778]

Now I am considering a trip to Banff! Thanks, Alice!!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Yay

[@normancarbajal5154]

That was a nice adventure Alice! 👌…

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you for watching

[@Jetmab04]

Wow what beautiful places - and cold...brrr...🥶 As the summer-lover I am, I would just sit among the adorable wolf-dogs - in the hope they would come to me, as I'm not allowed to touch them. Thanks a lot for sharing 🤗

[@williammiller7328]

Looking forward to it!

[@brianjohnston6132]

Love the very first shot in the video!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Brian I would have loved to fly my drone more but it’s illegal in all Canadian National Parks so I only got to fly it once

[@viktor_rosen]

Hello Alice! I wanted to tell you, thank you so much for Idaho! I looked without stopping) Awesome place! I adore you❤️❤️❤️

[@macklems5552]

I visited banff and jasper national parks back in summer of 2016, it was an incredible trip and I would love to go back someday! Couple of the highlights for me were the hiking trail at lake Louise that leads you up into a tea house, and the banff gondola up to sulphur mountain with a boardwalk trail of sorts at the summit. Thank you for sharing as always Alice, happy and safe travels wherever you are!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I just loved the tea house hike as well. Did that back in 2015 too.

[@_the_traveling_guy_6863]

Great video! ill be going there in 2 weeks from now. Got a few new ideas from watching this video so thank you very much!

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Glad to hear it have a great time

[@AliceFordAdventures]

[@emtpynotis3382cos]

summer or winter, this area just looks magical period! thank u alice for taking us along on your adventure, beautiful video. 😊

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Yes 1000% there is no bad season here

[@naturalflow157]

This is an absolutely wonderful experience. The landscape, the surrounding sounds, and overall the experience to connect more with nature is like a healing power that I have been looking for. As someone who got stuck too much in the city and lost kind an adventurous soul, I truly appreciate this. Thank you and wish you all the best :)

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you so much. Nature is certainly a healing place and very good for the soul

[@phillipseaton7163]

Hey Alice great video of a beautiful place. Sorry couldn't catch it live but didn't work out. Stay safe and have fun ill next time

[@AliceFordAdventures]

No worries thanks for watching and have a great weekend

[@jeffdidier3737]

Great episode Alice!! My wife and I really enjoy your content, even when it make us jealous!😊

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks Jeff

[@2011woodlands]

There are some ice caves and frozen falls to explore on the shores of Lake Superior if you're in the area.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@2011woodlands]

@@AliceFordAdventures check out Munising.

[@radisson8627]

Majestic scenery. Every segment of this video looks so familiar. That's probably because I used to live in the Bow Valley where the towns of Banff and Canmore are located. The National Parks of Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper are a natural beauty but lately overcrowded. One of the most scenic high altitude road in the world, the Icefields Parkway, is situated near Lake Louise AB at one end and goes all the way up to Jasper AB at the north end for roughly 235kms (150 miles) drive along and nearby the continental divide. The lowest temperature I have experienced while living there was -40C / -40F (both systems reach the same reading at that point). The air is thinner and very dry. You need layers and a thick tuque. Never underestimate the cold. I used to cross country ski there every winter, in Lake Louise on New Years as a ritual to kick off the season. Summer brings different views of the area as winter covers up most of the surrounding nature with a snowpack that could be triggered into avalanches. I know very well the Yamnuska Dog Sanctuary as I used to drive by all the time. Well, this was my playground until 2 years ago but I am still a short 3 hours away now and can see the Rockies in the distance from my home. That's comforting. 🇨🇦🏔🥾☯️🇺🇸❄️😎

[@AliceFordAdventures]

You have lived in some awesome places. I hope to hike across Vancouver Island this summer :)

[@radisson8627]

Too bad I wasn't aware that you were coming this way recently. I would have been pleased to shake hands with you. I know quite a few great spots off the beaten path. Anyhow, I am heading back to the West Coast soon and Vancouver Island has lots to explore. Maybe Ill see you there. Keep on hiking 🥾🍷☯️🇨🇦🇺🇸☮️

[@zachf6256]

Love this Alice! I used to be a ski race coach at sunshine village! So happy to see that you had awesome conditions and were able to experience an inversion. Growing up in the east (Ontario), and moving west to YYC for a contract, I can certainly appreciate the beauty. I’m so happy to see that you were able to take in so much. Culture, scenery and the glaciers. Equally as stunning in the summer although the winter months are my personal fave 🥰

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Yes! I had such a wonderful trip. Just loved the skiing especially at Lake Louise and also Jasper was wonderful

[@zachf6256]

Amazing! So nice to hear!

[@annas.5794]

Any recs for snowshoeing and hiking? Thanks

[@daveblosser4658]

You are an Excellent Skier. I grew up Skiing ⛷️ in Colorado. I can ski Advanced Runs, but I have to do a lot of Turns to keep my speed down. I've skied Vail. Dave -- "The Going to the Sun Road" Driver

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Vail is a huge mountain I don’t ski there much but have been a few times. Turns are good! Means you know how to ski

[@theroamertravelchannel]

Thank you so beautiful and I love the adventure you've done. Hope to do it too in the near future. New subscriber here.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thanks so much for your sub!

[@tearkhin5687]

Thanks for sharing your adventure, alice! Were there any northern lights activities while you were there?

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Not while I was there, the locals I asked said it happened but not very often. They said to go to Yellowknife for them

[@Deepblackice]

thanks so much for the tips! i'm going there next month and i haven't driven in snow before.... any tips because im a solo traveller renting a car and love to do Johnston canyon and go to Lake Louise/Golden ? for skiing in Sunshine village, what's the cheapest way to lift pass and rent ski hire? what's the parking like at places like Lake louise/canyon? is it metered out there?

[@yobwoc1000]

Alice would prefer living in warm or colder weather?

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Living in a warmer place but I do love traveling to winter destinations

[@formerjadedlass]

Hello! Binge-watching you because I am going to Canada on December on a work trip. Can you advise what footwear did you bring? Did you bring snow boots/ hiking boots specific to snow or just your standard water proof trek shoes?

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Thank you. I brought snow boots and heated socks. I get really cold feet so an insulated boot in winter is a must for me.

[@formerjadedlass]

Can you please recommend a brand you usually use for snow boots/hiking boots? And where to buy them?

[@tomatae8136]

Where can i use the drone in banff and jasper?

[@AliceFordAdventures]

Outside the bounds of the national park, so not really anywhere

[@normanq1206]

it looked like you were about to hit someone sitting in the middle of the slopes.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I'm pretty careful and have skied my whole life, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people sit in the middle of a run right in people's way.

[@victorhugoquilumbaquinpill8711]

Llevame contigo..

[@hollydavid69]

Nice. You seem to get around 🦸🙋🦜🌳🌴🦸🕶️🌠🦕💭😎⛰️🧢.

[@AliceFordAdventures]

I try to 😆
