Thanks for the info. As far as I can tell from the 8th wonder of the world which is google earth- It should be possible to head up the Ulysses glacier which looks close to pancake flat with out...

Hey man I got a question for ya. From looking at that picture and studing my topos and google earth, I'm assuming you went down diavolo creek a bit and then eventually made it out onto the Ulysses...

Did you try to ski it in a day from the parking lot? That's gotta be a big mission even for you boys! I know some dudes who bagged the owls in a day from a currie heli drop, but some people (I'm...

Tomahawking down that must have been sime scary shit- that thing is pretty steep! Im desparately hoping winter isnt over yet since id like to get out on a few more trips but it dont think anyone is...

Wow great work man. Im hoping to get out on that trip myself at the end of may, but obviously its not going to happen if the valley temps carry on sitting at 30 degrees!

It might be the case that this stuff doesn't get skied very often at all, or it gets skied all the time but there is some secret society who are pledged to keeping it hidden from the masses which is...

I did it about a week ago. The top section through the trees below oboe is snow covered but super dirty from shit falling off the trees. The middle section is a little better but there are about...

Glad you like it. PM me if you ever want additional photos or the GPS track etc.
Its a real tough choice as to whether to do it in a day or overnight... obviously its a really long day, but walking...

Did a one day Spearhead yesterday (Monday 15th). Snow was good- almost too good for a speed traverse! Singing pass is mostly ok, although there are now a total of 4 open creeks on the last section....

No sorry!

...unless you seriously love loooooong ass exit skins.

Sent you a PM

All my usual touring partners are unavailable and I want to do a one day Spearhead Traverse on Monday. Anyone up for it? I'm only part gaper.
Shoot me a text if you want to get involved, 604 967...

If you are half interested, you can read about (and look at photos and videos) of
-very deep pow at Steep Creek
-a skier triggered avi on Chief Pascal
-The ginormous NW couloir on Mt Wedge.

2 day trip to Casper creek including descent of the very cool Duke Couloir. Interested to hear stories of other people skiing it.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. I don't think it will help much, as it is the most popular design, but it was the Vario 15 in black and orange, looks like this:...

I asked the strata management, there is no video surveillance. The RCMP told me that there was another theft in a near by unit and they got a photo of the dude, so there is a super slim chance that...

My car was broken into in a locked underground lot in the Benchlands last night.
They didn't take my skis or my down sleeping bag, but they did take my ABS pack.
If anyone hears of one for sale...

Yeah it was certainly pretty ambitious for this time of year. I think it could be done in that time frame if you got the route spot on, but you'd have to know exactly where you were going and get...

We did consider skiing down the Rethel drainage, but with only an hour of light and a maze of logging roads I thought it safer to go the way I knew. Perhaps I'll skin up that way one boring cloudly...

Heard that the NW couloir is good to go, so made a crack at it.
Didn't know the route and moved too slow, so we bailed on the chute early yet still had to ski down in the dark.
Read all about it...

Went up and skied the amazingly atheistic Rethel Couloir today.

Anyone else notice that WB changed who does their weather forecasting this year? It used to be Environment Canada, now it's Mountain Weather Services. The new one rarely matches up very well with...

Very class

I don't know who Matt H is, but that is me in the skiing clips.



Didn't the The 'Bird get like 3 feet last night or something?

The first 2 shots are from off the ridge on the Joffre side, the second 2 are on the anniversary glacier. We tried to cut out of the glacier too high to avoid climbing to get back to the...

haha. The Duffy Lake Highway is a road that connects Pemberton and Lillooet. It climbs up to almost 1300m and there is sweet skiing on all sides.

I'm going to try and tour 100,000m vertical this season (just for fun) so I got for an early start.

I enjoying slagging off POV footage as much as the next man (probably more than the next man infact- I dislike almost all POV edits) but that pocket rocket line is EXTREMELY impressive. 5 minutes of...

Thanks Lee for the great video and write up. Here is my album from the day.

Great to compare notes man! Looks like you had slightly more consistent light and better snow than we did, but looks like you also had to share it with a few more groups (I guess thats what happens...

That's a bummer man. We managed to bag the Neve in a day last week. Didn't post a TR cos the photos all came out crappy on my iPhone, but you can check them out here if you're interested

Mt friend Holly and I left Whistler on Thursday evening and parked up behind the convenience store in Glacier at about 11pm. After sleeping in the cars we drove up to the start of the trail just...

Sweeeeeeeeet.

Do you know how much vert you clocked in total this year?

It was a great day by the cloudy skies and less than blower snow did not make for the best filming.
Enjoy it if you can!

Man I thought I was going good with 26 days of touring this season. And only 4 of mine we in the Duffy. I've still a long way to go!

Thanks man. Doing a heli drop on rainbow tomorrow, so expect more mellow pow action!

That was really cool man. Especially liked the intro.

Holy shit snacks. That was off the hook!

Very dope.

We skied Fitzsimmons and the NE face of fissile with full packs. I was on Dukes and Salomon boots then, might be a different story now on dynafits and Scarpa Maestrales.
Fitzsimmons is easily the...

Sweet pics dude.

I did it in 3 days last year, we skied Hourglass on Tremor on the first day, North face of Fitzsimmons the 2nd day and NE face of fissile on the 3rd.
We didn't start till lunch...

We did take 3 hours to get to the tree line! And then we took another 3 hours going all the way past Idiot-rod lake (or what ever its actually called) to the ridge overlooking the Brandywine Glacier...

Hmm... we were taking it pretty mellow, plus we didn't know the way- but we parked at the dog sled lot, then It was about 40 minutes to the end of the road, and then somewhere over 2 hours more...

2nd full day tour this week, this time to Metal Dome in the Callaghan. We considered getting a heli drop up there but it was going to be about 200 bucks each so decided...

Skiing Pow with my room mate Runar in the Steep Creek area of the Duffy. It was a bit cloudy when we set off so I didn't bother with all the standard leaving the car and skinning up hill cut away...
