A beautiful calm and clear day on Bow Falls today, Dec 30th. A wee chill in the air, -27 on the car thermometer at 7:30 am.

One 5 meter wide swamp on Bow Lake where water has come up and flooded the ice surface. A small hassle with snow shoes gumming up with ice sludge, would be a bigger hassle with skis and skins.

The route is in fine shape with scant evidence of previous ascents.

Happy trails,
