Peak 2 of a fun ski touring/mountaineering day out in the Whistler backcountry

ski mountaineering

Whirlwind Peak - March 9 2023

After having to turn around yesterday, I played scheduling jenga and managed to get myself another chance while conditions remained good, with success!

ski mountaineering

Cowboy Ridge - March 8 2023

An originally "bagging-on-skis" turned abridged touring trip, but as long as I submit the peaks I did get as provisional, it counts as productive!

ski mountaineering

Mount Sproatt - March 4 2023

A pretty simple touring objective with some excellent snow and great mellow skiing

ski mountaineering

Hollyburn Mountain - March 2 2023

I had an appointment in the city this morning, so naturally I had to leverage needing to drive down to bad something!

trashbagging

Crumpit - February 27 2023

A short, stupid, after-work attempt to ski something that shouldn't be skied

trashbagging

Horstman Peak (Blackcomb N2) - February 18 2023

A nice mid-ski-day peak to add on to an excellent day on the resort. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

ski mountaineering

Gin Peak - February 15 2022

A nice pre-work (if one starts work late) tour/bag in some very nice snow!

ski mountaineering

Shovelnose Peak (Fee Base) - February 11 2023

Solo trip to get "something" as I've been spending too much time on-resort as of late

ski mountaineering

Blackcomb Peak & The Spearhead - January 29 2023

A nice sidecountry tour on a brisk (but clear) Sunday afternoon

ski mountaineering

Thar Peak (North Couloir) - January 21 2023

Avy conditions were pretty bomber so we decided to go for a "cooler" summit, and Thar's North Couloir was our objective of choice. Much fun and chaos ensued

hiking

Watts Summit and Nightmare Rock (Murrin Park) - January 9 2022

An unexpected road closure forced me into making a last-minute plan, so I made the best of it and went trashbagging at Murrin Lake

ski mountaineering

Mount Taylor (Attempt) - January 8 2022

A failed summit but a fun outing with at least a few decent powder turns

ski mountaineering

Oboe Summit - December 30 2022

Peak #2 of my abridged Musical Bumps outing

ski mountaineering

Flute Summit - December 30 2022

After suffering from severe peak withdrawal, I headed out this Friday to fix that

hiking

Volcán Miravalles - December 14 2022

A vacation can't stop me from bagging peaks. In this case, it actually meant bagging an ultra instead!

hiking

Cougar Ridge - December 7 2022

A final pre-work peak before I head out for vacation

hiking

Rolie Polie Olie (Rolley Peak) - December 4, 2022

Not the peak we planned, but the peak we deserved?

trashbagging

Chilliwack Mountain - November 27 2022

A couple of failures culminating in a "consolation peak"

hiking

Slhanay Mountain - November 19 2022

A small casual bag while I nurse my busted hand

ski mountaineering

Opal Cone (failed) - November 11 2022

A failed summit but a fun day with a new friend, at least.

ski mountaineering

Metal Dome - November 5 2022

Revenge from springtime when I tried going up the "bad" way. Also the first "real" skiing of the season :)

hiking

Lynn Peak - November 23 2022

(supposedly) quick pre-work hike since I had to drive down to the North Shore to see the doctor anyway. gotta be efficient!

hiking

Empetrum Peak - October 22 2022

Just Cinder Cone would be a boring and inefficient day, so I decided to tack on Empetrum Peak as well

hiking

Cinder Cone - October 22 2022

A casual solo hike I didn't even have to wake up early for!
