Good shoulder season trip with Wietse, Vern and Kelly. Would not want much more snow than this but worked out okay despite full on snow bizzard at the summit.  Powderface trail closes on Dec 1 so one of the last weekends to try this.   RT was 8.5 hrs and about 21 km and about 1100 [...]

Brett - about 1600 m and 22 km - 9 hour RT. About 6 hrs up and 3 hours down. Bike trail for 55 min - bike out - 13 minutes!

We did 1700 m and took 14 hrs RT.   Note really [...]
