Beautiful sunny day...11 degrees C at the staging area. Only 3 of us up there.



Mt Bisaro...


Pearly gates...the old way in

Slide at the south end of Bisaro




Toe of run-out zone went for a ways...

Can't get the Pearly Gates photo to show right side up...FernieSnow to the rescue?

 

[FernieHawk]

Stayed on simple safe terrain after seeing the slide that probably happened the day before...







Fairy Creek drainage...one of Fernie's potable water sources...a no go zone for motorized. Other side of that ridge, to the right, is Island Lake Lodge terrain.

Thanks Doug....thought you would be able to get it right. Is it a Mac vs PC thing? I rotated the photos in two different applications...still shows up sideways.

Are you using CrapaTalk? I think that is the biggest problem. I know a lot of guys have the same problem and I don't think it is Mac vs PC.

I flew over there last Friday and back Sunday . Lots of stuff sliding

Uploaded them from my laptop. The problem photos were taken in portrait mode, not landscape. Opened them in a couple of applications...rotated, saved...uploaded to S and M. Still sideways. ???

I can’t believe the pearly gates have not come down yet this year! How was the monkey trail? Last time we went up it was a deadly trench.

Yes I was totally surprised to see it hadn’t come down...used to be a bit sketchy going through there.

Never heard it called the Monkey Trail but I like it. Someone had been through since the last snowfall and it was not to bad going up, possibly the best grip I have seen. On the way down after it had warmed up...well that was a little more interesting but no incidents.
