| A regal ascent of Mt Athabasca yesterday, May 24th, Victoria Day. Great travel conditions up and down on the "magic" crust. Its supportive almost everywhere and hard enough to require a fair amount of step cutting while we traveled on boot soles. Great cramponing after we strapped them on.
A party of three ascended the Silverhorn and descended via the Ramp route. We saw a dozen skiers, over our three days, enjoying great corn down low and dust on crust up high.
Happy trails, Barry Blanchard Mountain Guide Yamnuska Mountain Adventures www.barryblanchard.ca www.yamnuska.com
