    I got the snow part covered, but no elevation signs or ski hills in the prairies.
    Not really ANY hills, lol.

    I'll be watching though!

        Good thinking, but I don't know if there is.
        I know where there is a x-country skiing trail sign, but it's 100kms away.
        I'm going to google it though!

        Tank

        edit: There is one! Buuuuut it's 60kms each way.
        I also don't have insurance or a plate yet, and don't have enough trust in my Suzuki powered north Saskatchewan motorcycle to risk making the trip.
        It's tempting though.

          Not the tag, this is from a few years ago, but can anyone beat the elevation?

            nope, but I got half of it.

            How could you even breath up there? lol
            I turned my bike around on a narrow foot path and though I was going to pass out.
            Took a few minutes to catch my breath.

              It helps that I live at 6,000ft., but it's thin, the air goes in and out really easily but it does you no good. Riding a dirt bike up here teaches smoothness and technique, if you start fighting the machine you lose quickly. It's fun to bring flatlanders up here and watch them flail.

              Cool pic you have, that's a tank of a tank bag.

                    Don't know if I could do that. We invited this Yank for a beer once and he never showed. We were hurt to the quick !

                      Here's a ski area:





                      And....


                      A big wooden bear:



                      Or some other large carved wooden animal.

                          Wooden bears are easy to catch even in the rain. They are even slower than hibernating bears. Go forth and conquer a big wooden bear.

                              Sure, but none of that telephoto lens crap. You have to get right up next to him.
