And last, but not least...

Ahhh yes,
T h e G o o d L i f e in Cougar Ridge -- kicking back on the deck, meandering down nearby trails... the mountain getaways, shopping posh and dining hip... |
It’s been a unique experience to watch this strong, family-centered community grow since moving up here back in ’07,
and that was the spark that started Life Up Here... |
The plan now is to share the vision of Unfolding Ideal Life,
to “Live It, Breathe It” as we strive to design the lives we envision –
... for ourselves, our families, and our community.

The "One & Only" Paskapoo

Others have claimed Paskapoo means "hard landing"
in reference to the frequently icy conditions encountered on its slopes. |

Now growing up, although the name "Paskapoo" always had that sort of (ahem) adolescent comical ring to it... (why do kids seem to have a fascination with anything sounding like a bathroom word??) ...Calgary's own Notorious Ski Hill holds a lot of sentimental value for us...
For one, it was undoubtedly cool having access to one of our fave past times so close to home, enjoying all those exciting runs as fledgling skiers (and then trying to live down our fair share of embarrassing crashes in the bowl back in the day). And, attending elementary school with the two kids whose family owned Paskapoo, was also a preteen highlight! Anyway... for those interested, this article sheds some light on the history of Paskapoo... A place we now call "Ski Town" - one of the many dog-walk destinations up here in Cougar Ridge. Enjoy!
