Rob, Grahame and I got a good day of touring just before the year ended.
Year: 2007
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! DEEP! Corn skiing in November. Great views of the Tantalus Antony and Matt Tantalus…
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…

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 North Face
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.
Garibaldi Neve Ski Trip in a Day
May 12, 2007 Elizabeth, Nathan and I set out to do the Garibaldi Neve traverse as a day trip, the neve-in-a-day. We had good weather and a fantastic day. Fortunately we met up with our friends Rob, Doug and Grahame and spent the second half of the day with them. Good times! Check out Rob’s…
Mount Rohr
April 21, 2007 More good times in the Duffey with good buddies Rob and Grahame. We explored some of the excellent north face slopes in a basin near Mount Rohr. So many slopes, so little time… About the Author | Contact Cairn | ©2006 Cairn Publishing
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 good folk Day…
Steep Creek
March 31, 2007 Good times in Steep Creek with a good crew of friends. Another good day on on the Duffey.
Mount Joffre
February 2, 2007 Cam and I headed out to check out lines on the NE face of Joffre. Hoping for a break in the weather we passed time in the clouds. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate.
Mount Duke
January 27, 2007 Dan, Chris, Marty and I made our way up Certise Creek, past Vantage Peak and up to summit Mount Duke for a nice descent of the northwest face.
Saxifrage Mountain
January 14, 2007 Another great day in the Duffey area. Headed up Saxifrage from North Joffre Peak to make a descent of the east face.
Tszil Mountain
January 13, 2007 Beautiful weather and low avi hazard gave an opportunity to get up and and tour in the Duffye alpine. Another good day in the hills.
Vantage Ridge – Birthday Chute
January 11, 2007 A quick lap up Vantage Ridge for a few nice turns on good north facing terrain. Ended the day with a run down Birthday Chute. Good times on the Duffey!
