When you want to show a visitor what Jasper is all about

An exploratory trip with snowshoes to the ridge from Pyramid lake was fun and new.

This post is what we call “Venture Beyond”, not a designated trail, more of a wildland trail. 

We found some isothermal snow, meaning the snow is constant temperature throughout the snowpack and if you step in it when it is soft, you will punch right through. Even snowshoes will not help float you.

Once we cleared the tree areas to the open areas, the snow was packed better. You will run into different snowpack where ever you go, so be prepared.

At time of writing, this area was not closed. Still not sure if this area is closed off, look for signs along the Pyramid Lake road, but we did not enter that way anyhow.
