2010 • Coast Backcountry

Small Beach Drainage

Headed east with variety of folks and found some excellent touring.

Early season trip to Kootenay Pass from the East Kootenays.

Season opener in the Columbia Valley.

Doug, Mark and I went out for a long day and climbed Devil’s Tongue. Good times!

Another solo outing getting to know the backyard – this time the Purcells

Another solo outing getting to know the new backyard. Went partway up Banana Chute but firm refreeze with runnels wasn’t that appealing.

Great intro to the St. Mary’s Valley with a solo adventure to an aesthetic peak.

First tour with Andrew and Chris, connected with Jeff for a Rockies trip.

A couple first: first backountry ski after moving to Kimberley and first tour using my new (used) sled!

Nice tour to the back end of the Spearhead Range.

Beautiful day out in the Blackcomb backcountry linking Tremor Mountain North Face and Decker Main on Decker Mountain.

One of the jewels of the Spearhead Range.

Another great line in the Blackcomb backcountry.

Steep… Didn’t go to the top.

Great run down a prominent path above the Duffey Lake Road.

Good timing for a classic descent.

Big crew in good snow conditions and sunny weather.

Another day of good turns in the bumps.
