Headed east with variety of folks and found some excellent touring.
Year: 2010
Wolf Ridge
Early season trip to Kootenay Pass from the East Kootenays.
Farnham Glacier
Season opener in the Columbia Valley.
Devil’s Tongue
Doug, Mark and I went out for a long day and climbed Devil’s Tongue. Good times!
Mount Paddy
Another solo outing getting to know the backyard – this time the Purcells
Hunter Peak
Another solo outing getting to know the new backyard. Went partway up Banana Chute but firm refreeze with runnels wasn’t that appealing.
Snowpeak Mountain
Great intro to the St. Mary’s Valley with a solo adventure to an aesthetic peak.
Dob Glacier
First tour with Andrew and Chris, connected with Jeff for a Rockies trip.
Jumbo Valley Trees
A couple first: first backountry ski after moving to Kimberley and first tour using my new (used) sled!
Curtain Glacier
Nice tour to the back end of the Spearhead Range.
Blackcomb Backcountry: Tremor & Decker
Beautiful day out in the Blackcomb backcountry linking Tremor Mountain North Face and Decker Main on Decker Mountain.
Fitzsimmons North Face
One of the jewels of the Spearhead Range.
Pattison Side
Another great line in the Blackcomb backcountry.
Joffre Couloir
Steep… Didn’t go to the top.
Blowdown Peak
Great run down a prominent path above the Duffey Lake Road.
Fissile Peak: Saddle Chute
Good timing for a classic descent.
Rohr Lake
Big crew in good snow conditions and sunny weather.
Musical Bumps
Another day of good turns in the bumps.
