The first shot sums it up: we had a blast at #IcefallLodge! The people were great, snow was mind blowing, and the memories will not fade anytime soon! The only thing less than inspiring was the weather forecast 🤣 We rolled with the uncertainty and gratefully ripped the snow that unexpectedly piled up over the week. Feeling satisfied after two week-long trips #skitouring in the #CanadianRockies!
