Springtime is for ski traverses and other such trips that wouldn't be appealing at other times of the year. I got it in my head that I wanted to do the French-Haig-Robertson traverse, a loop around Mt. Burstall and Roberson in Kananaskis. This route is known for its excellent views and mellow glacier travel over a distance of about 22 km (20 km in Summits and Icefields) with 1000 m of elevation gain. As the weekend drew closer the weather wasn't looking so great but I had my mind made up, we were going to give it a try.
