September Skiing-Wedge Glacier

Skiing on a sheltered area of the Wedge Glacier in September.

This was the only trip of the summer that felt like quite a lot of effort.  The hike to the cabin wasn't too bad, but it is always further than you think from the cabin to the glacier, plus we had to climb quite a long way to get off the blue ice and onto the summer firm.  Still a fun trip, but not one I would immediately recommend.

August skiing- Metal Dome

Skiing in August on the Metal Dome Glacier.

This was a great mid summer ski trip.  Only 7 hours car to car, and that included 3 laps of skiing plus a detour to bag the summit.  This would make a great summer hiking trip too, although there is a little bit of bush whacking close to the car at either end.
