- I am planning to do the traverse from Bow Hut (Banff Nat'l Park) to
- Stanley Mitchell Hut (Yoho Nat'l Park) and would like to hear from
- anyone who has done it. I've been in from either end but not across
- the middle portion. Specifically, I need info. on time (we have 4 days),
- avalanche hazards, and suitability of the terrain for people without
- extensive telemark experience. We have 3 strong skiers skilled in
- glacier travel, but there is the possibility of two additional people
- who would be making their first major trip.
