Little Sifton Traverse

Hello, this is Brenda, the special guest blogger of today.
As your regular host, Andrew, pointed out, on Saturday we had a good look at the Little Sifton Traverse from the Hermit Meadows side. Sunday was another cold and clear day, so we decided to get up an extra bit early and do the whole traverse. The traverse starts from the busy parking lot at Rogers Pass, up Grizzly Shoulder, over Little Sifton Col, and out via Hermit Meadows.
If you don't quite follow, have a look at the track below, taken with my gee-pee-ess.




Here we are climbing up Grizzly Shoulder, looking across at Grizzly Mtn and the Grizzly bowl.



I didn't think we were moving particularly slowly, but a few groups flew passed us as though we were standing still. I guess I'll have to get better gear, or something, to keep up with the crowds.

And here is me, your guest blogger, coming out onto the ridge above the Grizzly trees.



As we moved along the ridge towards Little Sifton, we saw where all those fast people were going - to ski Little Sifton. It looks like some great runs up here, for those who can climb fast enough to get them. We didn't have enough time to make the side-trip up Little Sifton, so we headed straight to the col and down the other side.



The run down was great. This is me.



It was a treat to have such a great day in mid-winter. On Monday morning I went to the dentist, which was not so great, but the skiing made up for it.
