On Snow Skiing in July/August
Matt and I made it to base camp for the Haig Glacier. There were a number of logistics to make it in here. Many thanks to The Sellars Family, Kit Richmond, Dave Battison, and Alain Parent for helping us with those. We are looking forward to a great volume block with eight days on snow.

Thanks to Steve for putting us up in Canmore. It was great to get to know your family.Your alligator is pretty cool too.

The 18km run in to base camp is awesome. Several walking sections but a fair amount that can be ran at an easy pace.

Our home for the next week. 45 minute hike to the 7.5km groomed loop.
More updates coming soon. I meant to post pictures of skiing today but left my camera at camp. The weather was wild today. We started in slightly overcast weather, 15 minutes in we were soaked by a 5 minute downpour which broke into clear blue skies. It rained once more before we completed our easy 2 hour ski. I will have more pictures soon. Check out http://www.xcSkiLife.com for additional updates.
