Itinerary:

** Please note- this is NOT a beginner ski trip. You must be a strong skier (both on the uptrack and survival ski to get down the ice/crust/sun slopes)** This is a peak bagging trip based out of Lake Louise

  • We will drive out to Lake Louise Friday night, and stay in a hostel/hotel room Friday and Saturday. Plan is to ski Mt Niblock Saturday and Pope's peak Sunday. We will be returning to sleep in Lake Louise overnight.
  • Plan for long days (ie. 8- 10 hours) with a steady pace and continual climb.
  • This is obviously a VERY weather/conditions dependent trip. We may need to change locations, or we might find ourselves climbing if there is no snow to be had!
  • Closer to trip time, we will be touching base to book accommodations, and re-think trip objectives if needed. We will have a group discussion about alternatives (and take people's suggestions into account) if need be.

 
Required Items to Bring:
  • Ski and boot crampons, ice axe, glacier gear.
  • Skis, skins, poles.
  • Winter clothes.
  • Food and drink (breakfast Saturday and Sunday, lunch Saturday and Sunday, and Saturday dinner)\.
  • .

    • Recommended Items to Bring:
    • Sunscreen.
    • Camera.
