Comments

skied upto the bow glacier

Lake not fully frozen so struck mainly to the summer trail

Canyon has some areas of open water which are avoidable

Moraines above canyon have thin snow coverage

Glacier snow depth was on average 130cm and filled in. The higher we went up the glacier the more wind affected the snow was. The lower slopes skied well.
