Rogers Pass Ski Touring

One of my new favorite places in the world. Rogers pass was a hell of a trip. We started the trip with a short tour into the Wheeler hut where everyone was base camping. Each group got to hike up to the Asulkan hut (2100m) and spend a night there. It was something else to wake up surrounded by massive peaks at 2100m. Bluebird days, really nice snow and amazing views sum up this trip nicely. Now off to the Wapta Glacier for a 5 day ski touring traverse starting tomorrow!
