The above pics were actually taken at the end of our day from our friend Mira's parents' house, just east of Mountainview (where we stopped for hot chocolate). The scene hadn't changed all day, although the weather got worse within Waterton, making for a bit of a harrowing drive down the mountain from Cameron Lake. Conditions got better almost as soon as we left the park, and the roads were perfectly clear again before we reached Cardston.
This is the back side of the hut at Cameron Lake. In the bottom left of the photo is the informational sign for summer visitors. As you can see, the snow on our ski trail had piled up well above the sign.
Can you see me perched on top of the hut?
There I am!
I helped Chryslyn make the leap on to the hut...
...and then tackled her down into the heaps of snow on the rooftop.
Our view of Cameron Lake ;-) The blizzard had started to pick up by this point.
It was still a beautiful ski, but it really started to snow heavy on the way back to the car.
The day was capped off with dinner at Subway in Cardston, a quick trespass to stand underneath a gigantic windmill in the semi-darkness, and a 2-hour hot tub soak under the stars once we arrived back in Lethbridge.

Very much a winter wonderland!! Glad you conquered the storm and escaped to the safety of home. Nice JEANS and pendant. What we have to show we actually had Valentine's Day is a thicker girth from chocolate cake and dinner out at Mr. Ribs.
Lucky you didn't fall through the roof of that hut. All that snow, then your added weight---I dunno!!!
Dad
So fun...we will have to go with Chryslyn and you next winter! I love how much it was snowing.
