Mary led a small, hardy group up to a ridge and viewpoints above Battleship Lake. As soon as we left the Mackenzie - Battleship trail we were taking turns breaking trail through about 35 centimeters of untracked snow. That became very challenging as we climbed up a steep hill from the lake. But we persevered and found two of the promised viewpoints. Views were limited by clouds this time, but the snowscape was beautiful throughout our trip. When we returned to Battleship Lake all were in favor of continuing on to Lake Helen Mackenzie. Everyone was surprisingly polite when we actually ended up at Kooso Lake instead of Mackenzie on our first attempt. The 9.5 kilometer loop was quite a workout.
