Alex Gibbs: Steep Skiing Classics in the Sea to Sky (and nearby areas)
The presentation will showcase some recent steep & deep trips in
the Sea to Sky, all of which are ski-able in a weekend from Vancouver.
BCMC member Alex Gibbs is a weekend warrior ski bum. By weekday he sits at a desk and dreams about steep powder turns in beautiful alpine areas. But when there's sunshine and powder in the forecast, he's out skiing in our backyard in search of the steep & deep. Alex is also an avid telemarker and believes that we need to fight to protect this endangered species.
