 Mount
Whitehorn
- Canadian Rockies
Wednesday March
15th 2006
Mount Whitehorn is a
summit you can visit from the top of the chairlift at the
Lake Louise
Ski Area.
I've decided to
include a few ski summits for good measure. They're easy to get to
and if you have a craving for summit views in the middle of winter
then these will please.
Mount Whitehorn is a
minor named summit just above the Lake Louise Summit Platter.
The actual peak may
be further to the north. There seems to be some confusion but it may
just be mine. I've provided some images and a map so you can decide
for yourself.
I'll be going back so
if I am in error I'll have a ridge walk and you'll be happy to
know I have to do some work.
I took a few pictures
when I was skiing as well as a move of me skiing down the mountain
from top to bottom. I had to rig my camera to poke out of my coat
just above the sternum strap of my daypack. The camera was sideways
so I'm trying to find an editor to rotate the movie. If I'm
successful I post the move.

If you want to see some good ski trail maps of the area and other areas I
