The weather forecast was originally for rain, so we expected to be making more use of the hut, but by the time the long weekend arrived, it was sunny and warm with just a little snow on the ground.

Took busses to Lions Bay, from vancouver. Biked to Squamish, then rode up to do a few runs of my favourite downhill trail.

Climbed Sky Pilot on Saturday the 19th with the smoke from BC's wildfires floating all around

Mt Rainier via Emmons

Climbing up Habrich via Escape Velocity (5.9) overnight bivy and scramble up Sky Pilot next morning

Washington Pass ( North Face of Concord Tower 5.7 Alpine) and Mazama ( Prime Rib 5.9 Sport)

Yak peak via Yak Check pitch by pitch description

Biked up the Garibaldi FSR, in Squamish. At the snow-line (1100 m), I switched to crampons to run. Returned at the Warming Hut / Red Heather shelter, deciding instead to bike the many downhill trails.

Hiked up Seymour, built a ramp to snowboard, then returned by snowboarding down a run.

Hiked up the Baden Powell route, from Marine Drive in West Vancouver. No snow till after Eagle Bluffs! The route to St. Marks started patchy, with no skinning/skiing possible.
