At the start of a fine weekend. |
| Ski mountaineering: Fab and I along with a good friend Wess
stayed at Peyto Hut. The following day the weather was not so great:
mild, calm but whiteout. We decided to go anyway equipped with
navigational tools and hoping for clearing. We did get some visibility
as the lower clouds lifted but the summit was quite obscured. Fab was
not overly joyful at the top; suffering from a cold, he wished he could
be air lifted back to the couch! On the return, it is easy to justify
an ascent of Mount Thompson; it is a short distance away with about
400 meters of height gain. |
