Crowsnest Peak

Standing apart from its neighbours, Crowsnest Mountain looks as though it was set down on the landscape, and in a sense it was. Its upper cliffs are limestone and shale more than 300 million years old, carried along the Lewis thrust fault and now resting on much younger Cretaceous rock after erosion cut away the sheet that once linked it to the High Rock Range. The name has several stories behind it. Cree and Blackfoot names translate as the nest of the crow or raven, while the Ktunaxa, who hold the mountain sacred, call it Kokinakitteis, Raven's House, and say the English rendering is a mistranslation. Other local tales speak of a battle between Blackfoot and Crow warriors. Tom Wilson and two Swiss guides made the first recorded ascent in 1904.

Our solid hardwood cribbage boards are modeled with actual topographic data to capture any place on earth. Each board has a storage space for three sets of metal pegs behind a custom-etched stainless steel door. Boards measure roughly 350mm (13.5”) long by 190mm (7.5") wide by 90mm (3.5”) tall and are finished with tung oil for durability and a slight sheen. Additional options include a custom message or logo etched on the stainless steel door tag (32 characters max, +$10), and an engraved name, message or logo on the side or underside of the board (+$20 standard, +$40 with a contrasting filler). Side and underside engraving is sized to fit the board, typically no taller than 1 inch (25 mm). For a logo, send us a PNG through our contact form after you order, with your order number.

Our products are designed, crafted, and finished in Alberta, Canada.
