We’ll be heading out from Pemberton on Saturday morning with a plan to skin up Cayoosh Mountain to the Armchair Glacier, then ski back down. Depending on group energy, conditions, and timing, we can decide as a group whether to continue to the summit. Total elevation gain to the summit is approximately 1,300 m and can be discussed further in the forum.

This trip is not suitable for beginners. Participants must have strong, marginal-condition skiing ability, AST 1 certification, and at least two years of backcountry skiing experience. Everyone should be comfortable leading, contributing to route planning, and participating in a group safety meeting. I have not skied this area before, so expect collaborative route-finding and decision-making throughout the day.
