Rode Clemina Chappell and Allen definitely all areas need a reload but you can still find some snow. Big thanks to Snochuk and his daughter for showing us around his daughter can sure ride. Trails were awesome

I wouldn't doubt that he has. On Google earth looks doable.

i have been very close but not quite, there are 3 ways in there but i doubt i would ever try again it is not for the faint of heart, there is one very long drop from 9000ft to valley bottom and then a very steep glacier wall to climb once past that. After that point you can meander over that way fairly easily but it is all glacier riding with gigantic crevice's and i chose life. Been many places in the area i will never return......checkmark done.

The lake at the base of the glacier north finger does not freeze.
We have tried and had no desire to drown trying to skirt the perimeter.
Good luck.
Huge gap between google and real life.

We went into an area up by McBride and way at the back there is a glacier. Some guys were putting on harnesses so we asked what they were doing. They said “ in case we fall in a crevasse we can get lifted out”. We didn’t follow them…
