Nice pics, An! I love that area, just not in the middle of November during a blizzard.  Icefields highway can be quite hazardous.

thanks, and that reminds me, i was going at a moderate spd on parkway 93 (single lane each direction) cuz there was snow/slush on the road and i had summer tires.

a chevy impala taxi zoomed by (probly 20+kph faster), then a rav4 in chase.  they passed another car up ahead, then i saw an oncoming car in the distance in the other lane.  the taxi, still in our lane as he should be, began to veer to the right.  i saw no reason or cause for it; dunno if he abruptly hit the brakes when he saw that other car that seemed rightfully in its lane approaching us.  then the taxi swerved back in line and was hidden behind the rav4.  then it darted way to the left, crossing the oncoming lane and dove into the forest of fir trees lining the other side of the hwy!  the rav4 and other car stopped, but i just kept goin since that seemed like enough help.  and the taxi had it coming!

anyway i should've put my snow wheels on for that trip!  luckily no harm no foul w/ the azenis that time.
