Flew over Bow Hut and the Wapta on Thursday Oct 25. No one had been up
since the recent snow, but conditions looked quite good on the Icefields.
The crevasses are pretty covered, but a rope is still advised as the
bridges are surely thin and fragile. The approach would be arduous with
likely tough walking and not much skiing, however there was about 40cm of
snow at 2600m. and little if any wind effect(See attached file: Wapta Oct
