Super epic day with Andy hitting the summit of Mt Field in Yoho!! 1,600 mts of elevation gained, incredible downhill from the top, amazing day.  The approach is about 2kms from the parking lot, straight up until you see the first open area.

The approach is between the trees, flat kind of trail all the way to Hector Lake. Crossing the Lake was nice and smooth. Then is the up !! climbing for a while until you hit the top of the bump, where you can watch really close the Pulpit. We left Calgary early at around 6:30 am, roads were nasty with all the snow from the night before (which was good, because there was a lot of snow at top !!). Left view south of the Pulpit You this majestic view as you are approaching the top, very tempting to get out there and run in fresh powder, but as I learnt you have to be conscious and avoid temptation..  First run down ! This was my first run down, that is Andy on the picture showing off some tremendous skills. I came down right after him not so smooth ::--)) Me coming down on the f...
