Also Lara and Bram researched the traverse but bailed at the last minute due to weather. Here's Lara's intended route:
Misty would be Thu-Tue (6 days), plan to go from Chief Paul Creek FSR to the Icemantle Glacier to Snowcap Lakes to Snowcap Icefield, Misty Icefield, Stave Glacier, Terrarossa Lake & Glacier to either (1.) ski out along an alpine ridge to the North to Fire Creek FSR, (2.) ski out to the North and go down all the way down to Glacier Lake/Snowcap Creek FSR (back to starting point), or (3.) ski out South to the North Sloquet "FSR" (bushwack likely). Usually (see Baldwin guide) the traverse is done to Pitt Lake, but this seems longer and doesn't bring us back to the same starting point...
