Advice reminder is good stuff.
In the article link that I gave, near the end of article it is mentioned that a skier near Banff National Park was killed by a cougar.
That was at http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/...f-a6d7e77c0c24 at Lake Minnekawa. Banff National Park has a number of lakes and wilderness areas. The incident happened 1 day before we went hiking in the same area. We were probably hiking around 10-15 kms. away from where she was cross-country skiing alone. She was a local resident who was accustomed to skiing in the area.
We found out about the incident after our hike because we saw access to the victim's area, closed off by police and park authorities.
