Guide Announcments

The plan for Saturday is to head into the Whistler backcountry to play around in the freshly fallen storm snow. We still need a few more people to sign up for the day to go forward.

It’s confirmed looks like snow is on the way starting Tuesday. Winter is back on!

Stay tuned for a plan from Brenden coming for the weekend!

Well the weather is here to stay, at least for this weekend.

Colder and colder temps will settle in as that ridge slips south directing some northerly outflow towards us.

The crust believe it or not is starting to facet out and make for more enjoyable travel.

Plan this weekend:

When the skiing is less than ideal we like to work on some rope or mountaineer skills.

Topics we can cover include; rappelling, crampon skills, ice axe skills, belayed skiing, short roping, and glacier travel.

Blocking pattern!!!

We are currently experience a strong ridge of high pressure sitting over the west coast. It can often direct or block the heat stream around most of BC / AB.

The good news is nice temps, no winds and sunshine! The bad, no snow for a bit.

We are going to wait till the weather models update tomorrow before we decide on a plan this weekend. The models can often poorly predict when a ridge like this breaks down.

Currently we have Jason and Dan guiding this weekend. They will be looking for corn snow or practicing some rope skills!
