Waterton Ice Festival

The ice was in good shape on Saturday. While the main climb at quick and dirty was a bit thin and poorly bonded in the morning, when the sun came out, the ice turned fabulous. A number of thin lines are formed off to the right. The deviant is climable. The curtain on top is in pretty good shape. I was eyeing a new mixed line to its right, but someone else will have to do it.

It was a pretty small showing. Blair, Alexis, Gord and myself were the only ones there. I think conditions in Lethbridge must have scared off the rest of the people. A few others went skiing at West Castle to try out the new terrain, and a few others went to Drywood for the superb conditions there.

I will see about posting pictures in a day or so.



4x4 just before the hairpin before quick and dirty is in. Also the right hand climb between Expert's and Quick and Dirty is also in - Malboro man I think. (I can never remember if that is the left or right one though!)
