In Waterton, Kilmorey Lodge remains open for winter sport trippers. Snyder Lake is a good one for those up to the challenge. It offers a steady climb up to a small alpine lake. Snowmobiles are not allowed in either Glacier or Waterton National Parks. Wintertime offers great rewards but the potential for disaster is also great.
Weather conditions make mountain climbing especially challenging.
Along with the inherent dangers of snow and ice-covered slopes, avalanche danger increases. Rely on skis or snowshoes for general getting around, as few roads in the park are cleared. Register all climbs with a ranger and ask for the latest information pertinent to your trip. Also check the latest avalanche hazard and weather advisory before entering Glacier's backcountry.
