When we arrived at Jasper National Park it was magical. We only drove about 180 miles from Lake Louise but at the Athabasca glacier, it was 44 degrees, wet, windy, and cold. When we arrived in Jasper NP, it was 64, sunny, and absolutely beautiful. This is when we made the living the dream video on my phone by the fire, drinking "Happy Camper" merlot. then two days later, we wake up to snowmageddon, 4" of snow and a sagging awning. We quickly jump to the occasion to get the snow off the awning before it breaks. We bust our broom handle and finish with the window squeegee. We finally get the awning in, soaking wet, cold and ready for some hot coffee. We spend the rest of the day in a winter wonderland, basically in the RV looking out our fish bowl of the world into this magical transformed wonderful wilderness. The next day, it begins to thaw, and by our last day, it was gone. We did visit the Jasper Sky Tram for some photos, but we only got a few walks and hikes in and a bike ride due to snowy conditions. We did get to tour the town of Jasper on the last day with temps in the 60's. We will certainly have to come back for a better attempt at exploring the park under better condtions.
