Thank you
Well I guess this is a trip report of sorts, just of a very long trip…. On August 31st, 2011, I stepped off the plane to a grey, drizzly Vancouver morning. I didn’t know a soul. Everything I had to … Continue reading

Joffre NW ridge
Some time ago Sam McKoy emailed me basically saying “let’s do something hard involving skis”. A little hunting around at photos suggested that we might be able to keep the grade on Joffre NW ridge down by bypassing difficulties out … Continue reading
Bridge Lillooet Divide April 17-24 2012
This TR is a bit long. I suggest reading in segments or taking the full time to read it all. Skimming pictures is less acceptable. On their way up from Vancouver, Marius Muja, Nora Lyngra, and Michal Rozworski sat in … Continue reading

North Joffre Creek Horseshoe Traverse – April 6-8
Back in December, Sam McKoy and I, along with 4 others, attempted the North Joffre Creek Horseshoe Traverse. Our weekend of good weather became a Sunday of good weather and we started out from the Duffy Lake Road in rain. … Continue reading
Snorkelling at the Duffey
Well we had to begin the day with a somewhat brutal 4am start, with a pick up at 4.45am, but some napping in the car helped me top up on energy somewhat! We reached the car park early (an extra … Continue reading
Spearhead in the White March 26-27
It’s amazing how different a traverse like the Spearhead when you do it in whiteout conditions compared to fair weather. As anyone who did it the weekend previous can tell you, this trip report will probably sound quite different from … Continue reading

Mt. Matier Veronika Schmitt, Todd Mackenzie, Charlie Beard, Erica Lay, Knut Kitching Good weather and low avalanche danger made the decision to climb Mt. Matier easy. It was around 7 am when Todd, Charlie and I picked up Knut, who … Continue reading

The moon is full, casting shadows across the frozen, snowmobile tracked Green river road. I skin along, my skis scraping whenever they cross over ice chunks separating car tracks from snowmobile tracks. It’s 2:00am and my mind is on repeat, … Continue reading

Dec 17-18: North Joffre Horseshoe fail turns to Cayoosh success
4:30 – alarm. 5:15 – Alfred pulls up. 5:45 – car switch at Taylor Way. 7:30 – Pemberton. The urban alpine start is always a blur of a bare minimum of groggy, absolutely necessary movements and half-sleep until one really … Continue reading
