| Winter Skills Course Photos from Mosquito Creek to Molar Meadows | February 23-24, 2008 |
The trail up Mosquito Creek is quite pleasant and a blast to descend. The meadows are gorgeous. I think I am falling in love with Ski Touring. This was the second of 2 skills weekends for the Edmonton Section of the Alpine Clubs Winter in the Mountains course. This outing was mostly for experience. Thus no new material was taught to us this time. It was fun building a quincy and sleeping in it. Enjoy
