Park at the Great Divide Lodge, roughly 11km past the Icefields Parkway junction. The route to the lake follows the summer hiking path and is quite clear. There is a signed split for Paget Peak along the way but if by some chance it’s gone – stay left. Once at the lake, it is possible to evaluate your options. The avalanche runouts on either side of the lake can provide some decent yo-yo laps, but if visibility is good, head north and up the through the glades to gain the benches. Here you’ll get some great views and nice (but mellow) alpine skiing. The Phantom couloir is also back here.Â
