The Course:

 

Five days of skiing on the famous and remote Wapta and Yoho glaciers.

 

Day 1: We will meet in Lake Louise at the Alpine Center in Lake Louise at 08:30 RMT, get organized and head to Bow Lake where we will begin our adventure. The group will go through a 1 hour avalanche companion rescue exercise. Over the next 3-4 hours we will ascend up to the Bow Hut for the first night. There may be time to go for some skiing in the afternoon.
