Description

Leave the Stanley Mitchell Hut heading east following the summer trail down to the valley bottom where you will turn right and head south until you reach the parking lot and access road for Takakkaw Falls, follow this to the highway. The ski out from the Stanley Mitchell Hut has to be the low point on this traverse.

Not only do you quickly lose the alpine views but it is a long slog back to the highway with most of it being dead flat so cross country style skiing is required. Get the full route description at www.backcountryskiingcanada.com
