| MtnMagic | ski route  | |
| Skied up the peak on a relatively warm day in February 2004. Had our fleece jackets on top! We also had the icefields to ourselves which was amazing! However dodging avalanches and serac fall on the approach was a scary adventure. Very risky. On our way down, our up-tracks were obliterated by several tons of debris. We were glad we were on skis so that we could move past that section fairly quickly. Other than that, the ski down was real fun and quick. | |

| Gorgeous day but the route is a bore at best. Makes you want to stop and look around all that much more... Main goal was to go and sleep on the summit - sunset from the top was gorgeous yet chilly. Almost got CRUSHED by a solid 10-storey serac falling off the wall on the approach. We were passing under it about 2 hours after the sun hit it. I'd think twice about running that risk again. Probably wouldn't go to the Icefields on foot again. Skis = 100x better. | |

| David Mulligan and I climbed Snow Dome and Mt Kitchener from our tent site high on the side of Snow Dome. Both summits were in the clouds when we reached them and we enjoyed no view from the top of either peak. Skiing back down the glacier to the highway was fun, though. | |
