Moving from Cross Country to Light Touring
Less than two months ago I took my first XC ski lesson and have been hooked ever since. I love being able to move faster than on snowshoes and having more areas to choose from. A ski buddy and I upped our skinny skis by renting a light touring set for Lake O'Hara and got pulled into the next level: light touring. So, today, after days of debating, I finally decided to just take the plunge. After all, the closest thing to a new year's resolution was telling myself to keep trying new things and getting out there. This is my set for that next step:
Friends tell me that alpine touring will be next, and indeed the Wapta Traverse is (very) high on my to do list, but I don't think I'll get into that much gear. I'm also not keen on venturing into class 2 or 3 terrain. But, nonetheless, we're definitely eyeing intro to mountaineering now.

'Trying new things, getting out there, take the next step'... We ponder things the same many times B. Great resolution!
