A few days ago Laura messaged me about getting out with her and Adam, we were looking to get after something more than another tree run but yesterday the forecast was calling for clouds. Yesterday’s forecast had been way off, […]
Sherbrooke Lake Avalanche Paths
The last two days I’ve been out skiing the Sherbrooke Lake Avalanche Paths on Paget Peak’s west aspect and found some great snow. On Saturday went up with Chris, Brandon and Dan to ski the 3rd path. There was an […]
Paget Runout
Headed to the Kicking Horse Pass area today with Sonia and Anna without a set plan and ended up at Great Divide Lodge heading for the south facing runout off Paget Peak. We got up to about 2150m, did a […]
Ogden Wall
It was back to the Kicking Horse Pass area for me today. This time Kieran, Chris and I were looking to skin up the south shoulder of Ogden and at the very least have a look down some of the […]
Dolomite Circuit Highline
Headed out early this morning with Anna and Josee to do the Dolomite Circuit. We ended up doing a highline through the Dolomite Glacier area instead of taking the regular lowline route. After parking the second car we bumped up […]
Phantom Couloir
I woke up wanting to stay in bed today but had already made plans to ski Phantom Couloir with Chris Moneypenny. Had no real excuses to bail so it was another cold day for the books. Got to the parking […]
Chain Up Trees
Skied a single lap in the Chain Up Trees and into Trucker’s Drainage with Anna, Sonia and Vince behind the Great Divide Lodge today. We followed my previous skin track to the start of Weather Station Ridge and skied down […]
Weather Station Peak
Today was one of the more mentally challenging days of the season for me. I decided to attempt to top out on Weather Station Peak (unofficial name) after bailing midway yesterday. Today I packed boot crampons and an ice axe, […]
Weather Station Ridge
Did a little solo walkabout today up behind the Great Divide Lodge. Originally I had planned to do some tree skiing but after arriving at the ridge leading to the Upper Bosworth Weather Station I decided to keep going up […]
Fischer Travers Carbon Ski Boot
Going into the 18/19 season I really wanted to switch up my boots. The last 3 boots I’ve owned were Scarpa Maestrale RS and although the model served me well for many years, I was very disapointed by the 17/18 […]
Use Pressurized Fuel In The Cold
I much prefer using pressurized fuel stoves and I have been mostly using Jetboil brand stoves since the first model came out. The benefit of being able to turn it on quickly, without priming, is huge when I want to […]
Paget Peak
Woke up to -35C this morning in Lake Louise, packed the van and drove over to ski resort to pick up @Chris. Shortly after @Anna decided that it was just a tad too cold for her and we drove her […]
Bosworth Border Bowl & Drainage
Chris Moneypenny messaged me last night and wanted to go skiing but to be honest the temps weren’t getting me too excited to head out. Regardless he showed up just after 10am and we headed to Great Divide Lodge. We […]
Lake Louise to Johnston Canyon
On Jan 31st Chris Moneypenny and I planned to start a take on the Ski Big 3 Loop I did back in 2013, we had planned to do the second half (SSV to LL) with Kaitlin Paris and Kieran Crimeen. […]
