ski mountaineering Mount Eddy - May 18 2024 An ultra and the highest mountain west of I-5 in the US. Sadly overshadowed by the near Mount Shasta, still a pretty nice mountain, with good access on high forest roads (if you go at the right time of year)
ski mountaineering Mount Baker (Kulshan) - May 12 2024 A classic tour up one of the most famous Cascade Volcanoes, which happens to be highly visible from the Vancouver+Fraser Valley areas. A must-do for any ski mountaineer in the PNW
hiking Mount Burke - May 6 2024 A small, forested bump on the southern slopes of Coquitlam Mountain, best combined in a trip with High Knoll to the east for a trashbag double
hiking High Knoll - May 6 2024 A short and sweet hike to the top of Minnekhada Park in Coquitlam, perfect for a day when you're nearby and have an hour to kill, but not much more than that
ski mountaineering Tszil Mountain - April 22 2024 A low-prominence peak in the Joffre Group, but an excellent ski with a fairly simple approach and consistent downhill terrain all the way down to the lake
ski mountaineering Mount Price - April 10 2024 A fun ski objective above Garibaldi Lake with great views and a northern aspect for your solar-protected pleasure
ski mountaineering Mount San Antonio (Baldy Bowl) - April 3 2024 A classic ski tour in the San Gabriel Mountains of Los Angeles. Plus, for the peakbaggers out there, an ultra!
ski mountaineering Elephants Back - April 1 2024 An easy, safe p100 you can easily skin up (or snowshoe, I guess) from Carson Pass with minimal effort. Best done on the way out from Round Top (IMO)
ski mountaineering Round Top - April 1 2024 A great ski objective with a fun scramble at the top for extra "mountaineering" feel. One of the shorter trips for a p600 peak around
hiking Belcarra Mountain - March 26 2024 A short and sweet hike to a forested p100 in Belcarra, BC. A viewpoint can be found further down the trail, otherwise there are no views on the shortest path up
ski mountaineering Rainbow Mountain - March 23 2024 A prominent but fairly simple skiable summit, with a small glacier and minimal transitions required! Watch for gates/parking gotchas, though
ski mountaineering Abercrombie Mountain - March 17 2024 A long, gentle slog for a peak that's quite easy and popular in the summer, but rarely ascended in winter due to the long, sloggy nature. It's an ultra, though, and in better snow would actually be good skiing!
hiking Levette Peak - March 16 2024 A small p100 just off the Levette Lake FSR, on the way to Hut Lakes. The driving is more enjoyable than the hike, but for those who seek summits, you may as well pick it up if you're around and have an hour to kill
ski mountaineering Flat Top Mountain - March 1 2024 A fun, fairly straightforward skiable ultra in the Salt Lake City area, with great views and lots of fall line without being too much to bite off in winter
hiking April Mountain - February 29 2024 A small p100 peak above Park City, Utah. A nice easy walk with decent views for the effort invested. Parking is iffy, though.
ski mountaineering Murdock Peak - February 28 2024 A short boot/skin from the confines of Park City resort offering some fun lines, good views, and a peak with nearly 200m of prominence
hiking Deeks Peak - February 18 2024 A fun hike which is fairly straightforward in summer, but we added some spice to by ascending in winter. Great views of Howe Sound
ski mountaineering Zoa Peak - February 17 2024 A classic, easy ski tour in the Coquihalla Summit area
ski mountaineering Mount Saint Helens - February 10 2024 An excellent ski tour to a prominent peak, straight up and down, no extra transitions required. The true summit is less frequently visited, and requires some basic care to safely avoid cornices, though
ski touring Caspar/Snowspider Area (Kosegarten) Touring - February 3 2024 An exploratory day skiing out in the deeper areas of the Duffey, near the peak Kosegarten. In 2023/2024, you have to work for your powder!
hiking Sugar Mountain - January 31 2023 A short trashbag (at least with a trail) southwest of Buntzen Lake, good to link up with Farrer Peak
hiking Farrer Peak - January 31 2024 A short but sweet hike; the high point of the Diez Vistas trail in Belcarra/Buntzen Lake. Best views along the way, not at the summit.
hiking Sasamat Hill - January 31 2024 A small "technically a p100" peak above Sasamat Lake in Belcarra. A forested bump without views, for dedicated peakbaggers only
ski mountaineering Mount Tod - January 28 2024 One of the easier ultras out there, a mellow hike/skin up from Sun Peaks Ski Resort
