Alberta High Ski Mountaineering Expeditions

MT COLUMBIA EXPEDITION, APRIL 30th-May 2nd 2021

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.
