Born and raised in Canmore, Alison Short (Ali for short) thinks the only thing missing in her mountain town is a bowling alley (who doesn't love a game of 10 pin?). But not even this addition could cure her incurable bug for travel. To share travel bug RX advice or enjoy an afternoon mountain adventure in the Rockies connect with Ali here.
