ast2: dolomite peak circuit

For our second day out in the field we did the Dolomite Peak Circuit. It’s a loop of about 20km, somewhere along the Icefields Parkway.

 

Ski boot bouldering

 

There was bouldering to be done as well as skiing though – Dolomite Peak occasionally has parts fall off it apparently.

 

Skinning around the back of Dolomite Peak

 

Heading round the back of the Peak, we were following a set of wolverine tracks for a while – they have a rolling gait that leads to a distinctive footprint.

And then I fell in a tree well. For a long day, not much happened. We skied up. We dug a hole. We skied down. We skied up again. And then we skied down again through trees and horrible snow. And then we were at the cars. That was pretty much it. It was a nice day – though the weather closed in towards the end.
