This was one of the big outings I wanted to do in the Canadian Rockies and thankfully the weather finally started opening up at the end of our trip.

A morning skin across Sherbrooke Lake

---

---

Looks like the profile of a face

---

Huge

---

The top bit of Mount Temple

---

Rock wall

---

Niles

---

Some friends skiing down near Daly in the other direction

---

Just a lot of white

---

A looong walk up to the edge of the white plains

---

---

Looking at Balfour

---

---

---

---

---

Onto the next section, and another looong flat walk ahead of us

---

---

---

Looks like a croissant

---

---

---

More fields of white

---

No way we were gonna tag Gordon

---

---

---

Heading up to Mount Rhondda now

---

---

---

The drier eastern side of the Canadian Rockies

---

---

---

Contrasted with the more snowy western side

---

Lots of tracks on the Bow-Yoho traverse

---

---

---

---

Looking down to Peyto Lake, our exit in view

---

A crazy long powder run in the process

---

Maybe a few miles worth

---

---

Our descent from the far ridge

---

---

The shadows over Peyto Lake making for easy skating

---

One last skin...

---

And back to the road with great views still

---

Notes

• This was probably ~30 miles and ~9200 feet of vertical gain in a little under 13 hours.
