Paget Glades
Spent another day at Paget Glades with Anna Elkins where we found the snow had become more supportive for skiing than previous days. There were plenty of people in the parking lot but somehow we only came across two of […]
Paget Glades
I spent the last two days (Dec 14 & 15) in the Paget Glades area skiing laps between 1800m and 2000m with Anna Elkins (14th) and Heather Burbidge (15th). During that short time I have noticed the recent storm snow […]
Hector South Ridge Avalanches

Observation Sub Peak
Today Fred Heikoop, Brandon Gulstene and I did a lap down the south aspect of Observation Sub Peak from the summit. The access via the south ridge to the summit is in great shape, we only took our skis off […]
Lake Louise Sidecountry
Anna Elkins and I did a quick sidecountry lap in the low angle trees behind Paradise Chair at Lake Louise today. The snow is shallow and facetted but if you stay light on your feet it actually skis pretty good. […]
Dolomite Avalanche
Today I was back on Dolomite Shoulder with Caroline Gleich and Rob Lea in near prefect weather. We remote triggered a size 1.5 soft slab avalanche on the east aspect slope that is found a little north of the lower […]
