My Alberta backcountry season started promisingly back in November, suffered through a mediocre mid-winter, and finished strongly in the past month and a half.
I ended it on a high note last Sunday, May 11, with one of the more outstanding tours in the Canadian Rockies.
The route ascends the French Glacier-

Crosses the Haig Icefield-

And after a steep ascent, descends the Robertson Glacier-

The reality is, the day featured far more walking on skis than turning, hence the sloggin' in the title, but was a perfect end to my ski season.
I'm lazy, the sun is shining and a dirt single track beckons, so you will have to go here for more-
