| Skiing onto the ice of the Athabasca |
In the last few days there’s been alot of snow on unstable layers, and alpine climbing is now out of the question. To kill some time we decided to take a flat ski up the Athabasca Glacier to see some peaks as the afternoon sky cleared up. Our dream routes were looking good, but it’ll have to be another season. It would be pushing the snow a bit too hard to get into steep alpine terrain at the moment, and unfortunately we can't wait until april.
Hopefully we can get some good water ice done before we head back to the states. We're going to have to pick and choose carefully; most of the good ice here has hazard on approach, overhead, or all over the damn place. If we cant go big, we can leave with some photos and some new goals for later.
