Backcountry skiing to the ridge

Follow up to the presentation on DIY forecasting from the comfort of your own home.

Deep snow limited our climb, but we had an amazing time skiing through the trees on the way down!

Diagrams and takeaways from our scenarios

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.

Whistler Olympic Park one day ski trip that is mostly in the trees.

Yes we had horseshoes up our $**&^ for that one! A sunny 3 day long weekend skiing around the North Joffre Creek drainage.

Here are my pictures from the crevasse rescue course.
