Top of Divide Sunshine – icy early morning spring ski
Assiniboine – climbed left hand skyline in 90’s

Sunny but sun baked and rained on and then frozen. Icy ruts and then too warm and slushy with dirt patches and rocks. Lots of runs up top with Don Y. geophysicist at CNQ.

Snowshoe Scramble Thrift Peak Dec 16, 2022

Posted on December 18, 2022 by Bill Kerr
Pics from Doug – thanks

Snowshoe and scramble Thrift peak on Dec 16 with Doug Lutz.

Picked a direct route up a treed ridge to access main ridge. Crossed river on ice bridge and snowshoed up through trees. Bypassed a fence through an open gate and then heavy work trail breaking in thigh deep sugar snow up to ridge. Ridge was more narrow, treed and corniced than expected and I ran out of motivation but Doug went over to the Lookout.

About 8 km and 885 m RT to lookout
