Year: 2007

Skiing at Red Heather with a big crew.
Cloudburst Mountain
Jas, Rob and I got out for some fun touring on Cloudburst before the road got too snowy to drive.
Brohm Ridge
Antony and I got out for a day of good weather touring in early November. Unfortunately the snowpack was pretty stiff following some significant rain. Mt Garibaldi makes an appearance Antony – ready for the epic pow! Antony wants ski crampons! Corn skiing in November. Great views of the Tantalus Tantalus and sea of clouds….
Mount Baker: Heliotrope Ridge
Jeff and I had some great early season turns at Mount Baker! Being the first trip of the season, I was a bit worried I would forget some important piece of equipment (like fresh transceiver batteries the previous year). Sticking with tradition I managed to leave the insoles for my ski boots in a pair…

Katie, Dora and I had a great day scrambling up Cloudburst.

St Jacobs Mountain & Gideon Peak
Tim, Rob, Sabette and I climbed a couple nice peaks above Van Horlick Creek.
Mount Fee (attempt)
Kelly and I attempted Mt. Fee. We turned back a few meters from the summit, which was loose and unpleasant. I have no interest in trying this again in the summer…
Alpaca Peak
Phil and I headed out for a great scramble up Alpaca off the Coquihalla Highway. Lots of nice open ridges to explore!
Pelion Mountain
Mark and I had planned a trip up to Chimai, but the Buck Slide on the Ashlu Road left us searching for options. Pelion was nearby and makes for a great day so we headed up Sigurd Creek.
Faceless Mountain
Rob and I joined Mary and Lorrie for an ascent of Faceless. Rob and I skied the north face of Faceless to make a great loop. Tons of fun!
Boulder Creek
June 30, 2007 Fighting the end of the season, a small team of skiers headed up Boulder Creek searching for skiable terrain. How far does it make sense to hike in ski boots?
Sun God
June 20, 2007 Mark and I climbed the north face of Sun God and had a fantastic run down. Unfortunately we didn’t start early enough and spent too much time of the summit, the result of which was the closest call I’ve had in the mountians in some time. A chunck of cornice which had…
Wedge Mountain: Northwest Couloir
June 2-3, 2007 Finally! After an aborted attempt and much waiting I finally got to ski Wedge. I headed up with Scott and a contingent of VOCers – Pitor, Christian and Line. Although we didn’t get a hard freeze Saturday night, the couloir was still in excellent ski conditions. Check out Christian’s Photos Day 1…
Mount Ronayne
May 19, 2007 Nelson and I skied a north facing couloir on Ronayne.

Blackcomb-Currie Ski Traverse
April 7-9, 2007 A fantastic trip with great touring partners. Inclement weather provided some challenges along the way but didn’t dampen spirits. Rather than exit the rough exit of Gravell Creek we curled into the northwest face and descend the major gully below the Y Couloir. Good times all round! Day 1 Day 2 Day…

Checking out steep lines on Mount Currie, bootpacking from Pemberton to sort out the exit route.
