Six Pass Route
This is an amazing 3-5 day non-glaciated ski traverse that nestles in between the Icefields Parkway and Maligne Lake. Truly spectacular.
We can start at either the south end or the north end depending on conditions. It’s often nice to start at the south end later in the season to take advantage of the better snow on the N aspects for skiing down from the passes. This is truly a spectacular traverse that has great skiing all along the way. We will be snow camping throughout the traverse, which is why this trip is best done later in the season when there is more daylight. There are several options on the length of trip and hiring porters to keep weight down.
