Winter in the Rockies

"I've always wondered what winter in the Rockies might be like. Big frozen lakes, dry fluffy snow, waterfalls made of sculpted ice. The air cold and crisp and the sky an endless clear crystal blue."

"It was -20C and so clear and cold that air was sparkling with tiny ice crystals in the low slanted sunlight. It felt truly magical."

"The whole area around the Columbia Icefield feels barren and desolate and inhospitable even in the warm summer months, so we were certain that it would positively otherworldly in the howling winter wind."
