Crossed the border at Sumas and it was almost instantly white out conditions on the Trans Canada. I saw more ice fishing on this trip than I have in my entire life. Emerald Lake was as amazing as I imagined. Got some XC skiing in on the lake. And it was fun to see the ice rink at Lake Louise. The only other time I've been up to these parts was around the summer solstice. Pretty different experience around the winter solstice. Last time sunset photos were taken around 11pm this time around 4pm. The lack of light really directed our trip as we tried to avoid the mountain passes at night.
