Wapta Icefield Ski Trip When I arrived at the Bow Lake parking lot, I knew this would be the start of a great trip because Colin, the raven, flew down, sat on the hood of my van and welcomed me with a "Chaw-ha-ha". If you are not familiar with the adventures of Colin, you must read Ben Gadd's novel, "Raven's End".... available in all major book stores and at your nearest public libray.
