I guide the AA Col route on Mt Athabasca today, Sept 5th. A party reported 30 cms of storm snow on the Ramp yesterday, Sept 4th, and slab conditions that turned them around. Enough of a deterrent for us. Good conditions and travel on the AA Col. Cool temperatures all day, definitely felt autumnal, and the leaves are turning in the Sunwapta Pass.
Happy trails,
