Moderate SS into Chickadee Valley- Kotenay NP

Moderate climb along a deeply- snow covered creek in dense tree cover- emerging into flat  and sparsely treed meadows with mountain views all around- following the meandering creek and returning the same way. May have to do fresh tracking- turnaround depending on snow conditions.

Ruster Creek Difficult

Going up Chester Lake snowshoe trail and down the creek north of Chester. Some bushwhacking and sliding involved. Drivers will need to do a short car shuttle.
