The end of the season is very near with highs for the next few days up to 16c.
Say goodbye to the icewalk for the season. There is still plenty of ice in
the canyon, but things are dangerous due to a varity of objects falling in from
above as the ice melts releasing rocks, tree limbs and pieces of ice.

Some fading memories of the ice this year.

1. Fresh snow on the Icefall below Bridge 1,
taken two days ago when it snowed/rained
in town, but at the canyon up to 10-12cm of snow.







2. Entering the Canyon. At the start of the year, we were
walking under this tree with clearance of several feet.
Ever Evolving in the canyon.

3. Approaching what the guides are calling the Grotto. This icefall formation
has stayed up all winter. There is a cave behind this fall that goes back 3-4m
Generally the icefall collapses partway through the winter with a warm period.
But not this year. Didn't have that break in the weather this year.



4. Looking from Angel Icefall to the
Queen of Maligne Icefall










5. "Queen of Maligne" Icefall in all her glory.











6. The Queen's Behind












7. Showers constantly happening that form up the Queen
throughout the winter.








A few more weeks of Skiing and Bye Bye Winter 08/09!
