Park wardens believe a 30-year-old woman was killed by a cougar Tuesday while cross-country skiing in Banff National Park. "At about 1:30, we got a report of a cougar that appeared to be on a body up near Lake Minnewanka and we responded immediately," said Ian Syme, the park's chief warden. Banff Mayor Dennis Shuler said residents of Banff and Canmore were in a state of shock.
