The Rocky Mountains are so high that they create their own weather. You'll have everything thrown at you and then you luck out with days like this! There's nothing like the sun above and fresh powder on the ledges and peaks of the mountains. The Australians on my tour have dreamed about this, and now they are seeing it for real! The Icefeilds Parkway is the most amazing road in the history of the world! I may be biased because I am from here, but I would like to present to the evidence to back up what I am saying! I'm thinking that this is an "open and shut" case! It really doesnt get any better than this.
