The Abbot Pass hut stood for decades in a rugged col between two iconic peaks, overlooking the limpid turquoise of Banff National Park's Lake Louise — a destination for alpinists from around the world until the ground melted beneath it and forced its closure. The Abbot Pass Refuge Cabin is shown in this undated handout photo.
James Gudjonson, a vice-president of the Alpine Club of Canada, has been guiding climbers and skiers for 30 years. The threats aren't limited to Abbot Pass, says Christoph Dietzfelbinger, who has guided since the '80s in British Columbia's Coast Range. Gudjonson has seen that effect on the Wapta Icefield, a popular high-altitude glacier ski touring destination between Banff and Jasper, Alta.
But that's not his main concern. The 2018 closure of the Abbot Pass hut haunts climbers and hikers, he says. Parachutists jumping from Second World War-era planes hurled themselves Sunday into now peaceful Normandy skies where war once raged, heralding a week of ceremonies for the fast-disappearing generation of Allied troops who fought from D-Day beaches 80 years ago.
