AVALANCHE!!!!!!!!!



The top pictures are of the second avalanche it came from the same spot that the first one came down. The second one crossed Lake Louise, about 1 klm and we were enveloped in the snow cloud, the air movement, then we felt the power of an avalanche with a big push of air. Nothing to push you over but a good reminder of why you should respect the AVALANCHE. The pictures bellow are of the first avalanche a "little" smaller than the first. It didn't cross the lake but had you been cross country skiing you...... Well.... wouldn't have skied home. All but two tourists, a couple had left before the second avalanche and they followed us up the trail and had the same experience we had. They were covered in snow and shocked at the power of an avalanche(as we were). WOW this is something I will not soon forget.
