"River crossing was almost knee deep. Surprised to run into two guys coming up out of the crux as I was going down. The weather was perfect so I guess they had the same idea except they hiked the powerline from Nakiska said it took them an hour." - Mary Barclay, Randy, Jan 14, 2019

"A CSMC casual day doing the Heart/Grant Macewan Loop. It was a bit of a cool start but once we got past the Heart mountain summit the temperatures were quite warm. Snow was not much of a factor, but we brought microspikes anyways." - Heart Mountain, BertB, Jan 13, 2019

"Alison, Bert, Blake, Feli and I went up Wildhorse Ridge without incident. All snow is avoidable at this time. We brought traction and/or crampons, but never took them out. It was a short trip- just under 4 hours including a summit visit. Weather hovered between -2 and +2, so great for winter. The deadfall on the ridge wasn't fun, but oh well. Views were decent and the Chinook arch was cool. We caught a bit of the sunrise too. Glad to get out with the gang" - Wildhorse Ridge, leigh-annewebster, Jan 12, 2019

"Association Peak loop. We went up via South Drainage (ice-climbers call this route "David Thompson Motor Inn") and descended the standard route (NE bowl). South Drainage is much more enjoyable and aesthetic route than the other one. It presented a nice combo of hiking, scrambling and ice climbing. " - Association Peak, Taras, Jan 12, 2019

"The best views from just after Barwell till Quirk summit. Hiking on OHV trails no encounters on this day. I could of took a shorter route down from Quirk, I think. A few options for trails, choose wisely " - Mount Barwell, Randy, Jan 9, 2019
