Comments on: Snowshoe & Scramble up North Kent outlier http://kananaskisblog.com/north-kent-outlier/2009/ Hiking, Skiing and Snowshoeing Mon, 21 May 2012 15:44:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Barbara http://kananaskisblog.com/north-kent-outlier/2009/comment-page-1/#comment-215 Barbara Wed, 27 Jan 2010 03:24:49 +0000 http://kananaskisblog.com/?p=1363#comment-215 I was up there three days ago and it was wonderful! Very little snow at the top, so it made for a great decent outing for this time of year. We snowshoes to just above treeline, then left our snowshoes and hiked up to the summit. The post above mentions a route up to the SE of the summit. We saw an avalanche in there this past weekend, so wouldn't recommend going up that gully.

Many years ago now, went up in spring to the Kent Ridge outlier showing on the map to the SE of your summit , on skis to treeline via logging roads and the old burn, and then on foot up the bare S ridge. Once in a while when not too windscoured that area used to offer some decent skiing , but haven't tried it in a long while. Used to wonder where those roads off the Sawmill “ski” trails went.
