Snowshoeing with Mark and Keri. Overcast when we started, but sunny and clear when we got to the pass. Very scenic with varied terrain and landscape. The final hour up a scree slope was unexpectedly strenuous and took far longer than we thought it would (we ditched our snowshoes for this part). The pass was outstanding - great views of the Three Sisters, Lawrence Grassi, Canmore and Grotto. Mark almost took a major fall when he stepped out onto a cornice and it gave way - it could have been extremely serious or fatal. An outstanding trip (except Mark's near-death experience!).
