"Nomad Ridge" Tour and Turns

View of glades.

Got out January 28 with Curt for some cool backcountry exploration. I was originally thinking we could easily skin up to the hanging valley below the little unnamed peak, sometimes referred to as "Mt. Nomad". I thought the main upper Kananaskis Lake hiking trail would be a foot bashed in trail, it was, then the old road would be an easy skin, it was as well, but the steep trees above the old road was a very difficult uptrack. Lots of unconsolidated snow and we had to work hard to set a trail to the top of the ridge. Got in a great workout, and some great powder turns in the steep glades on the way down. Blue skies and calm conditions, resulted in a very enjoyable day out.
