We started our trip with the all too familar trip across Peyto Lake. This is Blair, testing the ice for the rest of us.
Blair doesn't weigh much, so he not much of a tester.
|
Here we are at the far end of Peyto Lake. There was an absense of snow across the gravel flats, so we put
the skis on the pack and away we went. Unfortunately, we've become too familar with this move too.
|
This is looking back across Peyto Lake toward the highway. Notice the slushy conditions on the lake surface. This
would prove to be a bit unnerving on the way back across in the afternoon.
|
This is Blair heading across the gravel flats with his skis on his pack. Ideally, you'd like your skis to be on your feet.
|
We had to carry our skis about half way up the moraine. We were then able to ski almost to top of the moraine,
but had to take our skis off one more time. This is Blair taking his skis off again.
|
Looking back down behind us, you see Brett bringing up the rear.
|
Here we are coming up the Peyto Glacier and getting onto the Wapta.
|
Now, we're heading for Peyto Peak. Unfortunately, the trip would end about half way up the slope.
We turned around for avalanche concerns. We actually tried three different lines on the slope, but they were
all too iffy.
