Due to condition change, we had to change the objective of the day from peak begging to skiing… Sooooooooooo disappointing (ﾉω･､)

So under cold miserable flurry weather, we headed out to Narao Peak in Yoho N.P. Parked our car at the same parking lot as Lake O’Hara road. We followed the O’Hara road for about 2km where there was a trail sign on the left of the road. From there we started ascent to Narao Peak right about treeline then skied down and up and down and up and down. There are quite bit of trees here so you need to be able to control your skis all the time or you will bump into trees.

This is my worst nightmare. When I see Heather gaining on me, I panic because I know no matter how fast I try to go, she'll catch me and pass me by. At this point in the picture, I was calling for help.
