Scope and Contents

LaVern Trepp and a large group of men, most likely soldiers, continue their expedition through British Columbia’s ice fields. The team builds a temporary ski camp out of flexible metal and a snow plow. Then the group, all wearing the same green-gray outfit, repeatedly ski down a mountain. Afterwards, LaVern Trepp visits Lake Louise, a hamlet in Alberta, Canada that also hosts a ski resort. Later on, LaVern Trepp helps build a wooden structure in the snowy mountains. Finally, a group of soldiers traverse through the snowy mountains, grab supplies from a train, and wander around the town of Banff, Alberta, Canada.
