Columbia Icefields May 2- May 6th

To go or not to go? That was the question as the weather-forecast was not very positive. Ready for adventure we made the final decision: Go!

We left Canmore at 5AM and we encountered several different weather types on the Icefields Parkway. One moment the car slipped in the snow.... Scary. The picture at the parking lot shows how heavy packed I was. I have never been carrying such a big pack on the glacier! Beacon, harness, ski-gear, camping gear, 5 day food etc. 10 km and 1000 mtrs elevation on the Athabasca Glacier was waiting ahead of us. As you can see, the views were amazing as we traveled below the well known seracs of Snow Dome. And the sun was still shining.....
