It's still about -12 at this point.Finally we start gaining height on the road at the switchbacks.A gorgeous winter day in Little Yoho, this is looking back over our approach from the top of the switchbacks.The group pauses on the road before heading left up the Mount Field skin track. Wapta Mountain looms above us here and the obvious chutes ahead of us have ski tracks.The lower approach to Mount Field which is still mostly hidden left of center. This photo shows the steeper avalanche chutes that can be skied on descent at right of centerWe ascend a shallow draw towards thicker trees beside the avalanche paths.There was a short section of fairly thick 'whacking that was avoided on descent by skiing directly in the avy path beside it.As we transition out of the trees and into the avy chutes the views open up towards Mount Collie and Baker. The Yoho Valley road visible at lower center.Ascending the small chute beside the bigger avy slopes.The 1400m vertical is non-stop once you get to the switchbacks down on the Yoho Valley Road. We still have hundreds of meters to ascendStarting to break treeline.What a view and what a glorious day to not be anywhere but here. The summit is still a long way off at upper right.This shallow gully was a great ski line on descent.Skinning up the lower section of the upper face.Skinning up the lower section of the upper face.We got lucky with a great skin track on ascent and few tracks on descent.]
