Up Hector on Sat Aug 25. The glacier is in good shape, with some routefinding 
and 
weaving strong bridges can be found all the way up. The upper slopes had good 
cramponing snow on them.

At the icefields today. There and all the way to Lake Louise there was variable 
amounts of new snow down to below 8000 ft, most notably in the Bow Summit area. 
Around Banff it seems as if the snow line may be a bit higher, but visibility 
is 
poor.
