Comments
4 days at Peyto hut, entered via Peyto lake, the normal pullout wasn't plowed so we descended from bow summit. Limited visibility most days with winds and light snow filling tracks quickly and creating wind effect. Huge cornices all over the place with evidence of failures pulling out slabs on Habel, Rhonda, and Baker. Skied, Habel north Bowl, Habel ridge, Tilley, and Peyto toe. Mostly clear but hot exiting via bow today, refrozen garbage below bow hut.
