On April 1, 2024 we skied up Mount Gordon from Bow Lake on a beautiful sunny day. There were many crevasses visible at the base of the Olive – St. Nicholas col, as well as on the route to Mount Collie, but only a few on the standard routes up both Gordon and Rhondda. The snow for the ski down was a bit wind-crusted but still lots of fun. We started out from The Lodge at Bow Lake (formerly know as Num-Ti-Jah Lodge) at 9:15 am and were back at the Lodge at 4:45 pm.
Total time 7.5 hours, Total Distance 23.6 km, Total Elevation Gain 1260 m.
