As you can see in this picture there is still a whole lot of snow left here at the lake. It will be another month or so until the lake is completely melted.
On Tuesday I made my first trip of the year up to the Columbia Icefield. The weather up there was not so nice; basically we were in a blizzard when we got off the snow coach onto the glacier. You get about 20 minutes to walk around on top of the 300 meter thick ice but that day most of the few people that were on the same tour as we were only lasted about 5 minutes outside. The three people you can see outside are the driver and two of my five clients that day. A mother and her four year old daughter whose name is Mia, although it is not pronounced the same as Mya’s name. Hers is the same as Mia Farrow. She was a cute little kid and we had fun in the snow.
Hopefully as the weather warms up I’ll be able to show you what the area really looks like on a nice day.

Neat Lorin. That sounds like lots of fun sampling all that wonderful food. ANd a trip to the ice fields sounds really neat. I have never been there before is pretty cool?
Cool shots. Especially that one with the "Ice Explorer". Looks freezing though. We sure had a lot better weather here that day! Looks fun though!
Won't that thing fall through the ice? There's no way I'd go out there! You're pretty brave Lorin!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Actually Johy this is solid ice almost 1000 feet thick all the way down to the bedrock of the mountain so there is no chance of breaking through it like if it were ice on water.
