Over 2,000 of you have now sent letters opposing the Fortress Mountain All-Season Resort proposal — thank you 🤎

This proposal represents a profoundly unsustainable and inappropriate use of the All-Seasons Resort Act, with a year‑round resort featuring hotels, gondolas, retail areas, real estate, and an exhaustive list of summer and winter activities — as well as almost 10,000 anticipated daily visitors.

, and the wildlife like who call the region home, simply cannot sustain such an increase in pressure 🐻

Importantly, however, this proposal is about more than just 'one' All-Season Resort. It's about the precedent it sets for removing public land to make way for private development at the stroke of a pen, with little advance warning or opportunity for Albertans to speak up ahead of time being given.

It’s sneakier and subtler than the closure and privatizing of more than 140 parks that happened in the original era, but it's arguably no less dangerous ⛰️

If you love this region, and want to see it protected, please consider sending a letter — and, if you have already, forwarding it to someone you know who hasn't:

5 stages of Beginner Syndrome:

1. Dreamer stage ✨️
2. Romanticizing stage 💭
3. Resolved stage 💪
4. The Attempt 🌟
5. Humbled😵

Dreaming of new activities is exciting! Fun! You imagine the joy it will bring you, whether that's summiting mountains or touring through a winter wonderland on shiny new skis! 🥾⛷️

You buy or gather everything you need to get started. You're going to do it! You try it... and realize it's a bit more challenging than you realized. 🥵😫

That's ok! Everyone had to start somewhere. Never be afraid to be a beginner!

Edworthy Falls via Elbow Lake Trail
Approximately 10.33km

This trail is beautiful the entire way. Elbow Lake is stunning, and hiking through the mountain valley was an absolute treat. We also encountered a covered wagon coming down the trail!

But also... It's places like this that remind me of my goals and dreams. I'm so glad I could get out and enjoy some mountain time ❤️⛰️🌲

New favorite trail? Yes. But really, they're all my favorites 💚

A brand new adventure! This time, I visited part of western Latvia with Peter.

We ventured out to where the Baltic Sea meets the Gulf of Riga, and we visited a little ship graveyard. I can "sea" why people love the coast!

We also discovered the Jurtaka hiking trail and plan to do part of that in the future!

🇱🇻
