Mt Brazeau Expedition

 

Dates:

 

TBC

 

The Course:

 

Mt Brazeau , 3500m, stands among a group of high peaks at the South end of Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. A beautiful glaciated peak which has amazing ski runs rite from the summit, the area is more remote and less traveled than the Columbia area but offers similar challenges to the Columbia Icefields peaks. Day 1 is spent approaching a base camp at tree line near the toe of the Brazeau Icefield, day 2 will be an attempt of the South glacier route of Brazeau and potentially skiing Mt Warren, 3300m, Valad Peak, 3250m, or Mt Henry MacLeod, 3315m.

Mt Columbia Expedition

 

Dates:

 

TBC

 

The Course:

 

Standing mighty and tall this is the official high point in Alberta at 3750m and buried deep within the ancient ice of the Columbia Ice fields. On the 3 day Mt Columbia expedition there is time to get positioned and enjoy the massif ice which shapes the Columbia Icefields. If you are a confidant back country skier or snowboarder this is a suitable "mini expedition", if you have never seen the sun set from 10,000 ft while chilling in the comfort of your sleeping bag sipping tea, well it is stunning!

Choosing a Columbia 4 day will give the group extra time for weather or a more casual approach, this is a great "mini" expedition which is great training for larger ski traverses or Mt Logan Kings Trench.
