bedellympian Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Wanted to plan something for spring break in late March and would really like to ice climb. Wondering if anything in Hyalite or Canmore is still in by that time? Jasper? Should I just go alpine climbing instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have gone up to banff in mid march and been ok. Not near Canmore but farther north on the ice fields parkway. Murchison is pretty cold all winter. Maybe it would be pleasant in late march. Think n facing and higher elevation and it could work out for you. But then two weeks could make all the difference between ice being fun and being in a heap on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinB Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Canadian Rockies is usually pretty solid that time of year. Had one of my best trips up there in late March (spring break as well). Things are usually fat and the temps moderate. You can definitely get skunked by the avy conditions but there should still be some protected stuff to keep you busy.

Kodiak Pat Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'd take a look at Alaska also. Plenty on the road system still in that time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
