Description:

Hi friends! I’ve decided to cancel this as an official VOC trip for now given the size of the objective. Maybe it's the nerves getting to me, but I'm gonna keep it to a small group this time around.  If it goes well, I'll rerun this with more experience and idea of what I am doing with an open invite! 

Have you ever done a triple crown and thought, that was cool, but you don't realllly go to the top of each mountain? Well, why don't we ski to the top as well?

There are great previous trip reports of North Shore Triple Crowns, which have ski touring to the top of each mountain as inspo. 

This is a progression of my Cypress Cycloski trip, which is a day trip to one north shore mountain. This will be biking a triple crown and skiing to the top of each mountain : D

This is a sizable objective (4600m day, 160km). This should not be your first triple crown, or your first ski bike attempt.

 

General requirements

1. Able to do a triple crown comfortably (biking to the top of Seymour, Grouse and Cypress in a day)

2. Having done big days (1500m+) of ski touring, and having your AST-1

3. Being very stoked about a big day on the north shore

4. Liking type 2 and potentially type 3 fun

This trip will have an early start (5am?) and be very much weather-dependent - it will not run in bad weather. It will be hard enough in good weather.
