MT COLUMBIA EXPEDITION, APRIL 27th-29th or  30th, 2018

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 Mt Snowdome and Kitchner may be climbed before skiing out on the third day. 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.
