Yup. Exposed approach and the main path produces size 3 to 4.5 avies and is overhung by glacier icefall with towering seracs. Very small windows of safe skiing and pretty much perpetual persistent low probability/high consequence objective hazard for sections of the approach.

Damn.... Gary; no show. Lee; no show. Abraham; no show. What about A.P.? no show.... so had to do 'er solo. Well, half of it. She had flushed out a few days ago and left a section of white ice in the choke section...staying true to my m.o. of "if i have to use ice climbing tools to get up something to ski it, it ain't for me".
Full trip report to follow after I get back home and have time.
My work in Stewart is now complete.

Throwback saturday.
On the note of summer coming down the pipe. A toque's off nod to the o.g. Rupert gen 2 ski crowd; mad skillz and steeze. When it comes to no snow skiing Rupert skiers had 'er dialed. Fresh landslides on 210 pencilsticks, in town asphalt turns with sparks a flyin'.... and in a clinic of how to tele turn on any surface, snow or not....Twinkie shows us how it's done. Move over Candide, the Dwayner did it on tele's and cow boots before you hit puberty. Fist bump of respect.

A few pics of our regional glaciers in the general vicinity of Stewart....sad state of affairs. Fingers crossed for a a huge snow year or 20 followed by more classic nwbc summers...e.i. non summers to add some white gauze to the wounded ice. Hope springs eternal. Never mind the bollocks.
hey xxx'er/a.p....any word on sibola? is it down to bare ice or still some leftover white?

Northern BC 2013/2014 Stoke, Conditions
Did not make it to the Sibolas this year. I know Dave went early in the summer but he did not make it to the bowls as he was chased away by an incoming storm. And then he got chased sway by the Nadina fire. Word on the street is that weirdness and hostility continues unabated by the mine owner up there. Not to mention the raging wildfire situation in that neck if the woods.
And regarding your glacier obs, the Kathlyn glacier above Smithers is the most exposed i have ever seen it in my 12 years in Smithers.
Back in April i remember thinking we were going to gave great summer skiing season after the solid snowfall of last winter but alas it was not to be.
I’m actually in California right now and for the first time ever my arrival here represented an improvement in air quality. Smithers hasn’t been all that bad but Topley to Jasper was crazy.
Rough summer in B.C. I for one am ready for winter.

Oh man, A.P.; pains the brain to lament that rapid annihilation of the Kathlyn Glacier.
Thnx for update re;Sibolas...just looked on the b.c. fire map, didn't realize the Nadina Lake blaze was that big and THAT close to the range...damn...
Buddy Brad Z is so sick and tired of this summer sun and heat he booked a trip to ski powder at end of Aug through beginning of Sept up in the Mount Logan area. Headin' in via Icefields Discovery plane shuttle. Super stoked for him. We can live vicariously through the Zeeripper.Master of mediocrity.
