ski mountaineering Gravell Peak - December 1 2024 A fun peak with a great ski line on the eastern end of the Mount Currie ridge. Bit of a bushy start, but well worth the bushwhack thereafter
ski mountaineering Little Muddy Peak - November 30 2024 A short detour from the northern side of Manning Park Ski Resort, this is an easy addition to a peakbagging day in/around the area, be it on skis or snowshoes
ski mountaineering Bojo Mountain - November 30 2024 An easy ski or snowshoe peak on the north side of the Manning Park Ski Resort, making for a great summit for poorer weather, harsh avalanche conditions, or just "if you're already skiing there" and get a peakbagging itch. Easily combined with Grassy Mountain, which is en-route from the resort
ski mountaineering Grassy Mountain (Manning Park) - November 30 2024 An easy ski or snowshoe peak on the north side of the Manning Park Ski Resort, making for a great summit for poorer weather, harsh avalanche conditions, or just "if you're already skiing there" and get a peakbagging itch
hiking Baldy Mountain - November 10 2024 An easy ski tour up and down a ski resort to a prominent summit, with no avalanche terrain. Great for a day when the snow is there but the weather isn't giving you much else
scrambling The Copilot - July 27 2024 A fun, slightly more challenging sub-peak of Sky Pilot in Squamish. Plus, if you're willing to haul some skis up, you can get some surprisingly late-season turns!
ski mountaineering Mount Bachelor - June 30 2024 A nice, fairly prominent Cascade Volcano near Bend, Oregon. The easiest way up is to shell out for a lift ticket during ski season, but coming up for a late June ski tour is a pretty cool option too (and cheaper!)
ski mountaineering Mount Ronayne (Y Couloir) - June 28 2024 A fun ski objective that holds snow quite late into the year, and is a p600 to boot for the prominence-oriented peakbagger with a penchant for skiing
ski mountaineering McCrae Peak - June 9 2024 A fun ski peak with some spicy scrambling (at least in shoulder season) to top out. p600 for those who are into that. Plus, the road goes up super high so you can skin to/from the car even in June!
ski mountaineering Mount Thielsen - May 20 2024 Quite an excellent ski mountaineering objective. Parking right off the highway, pretty short approach which should be skiable as long as there is snow, fun skiing, and a cool summit scramble. Plus over 1000m of prominence for the stat nerds :)
ski mountaineering Mount McLoughlin - May 19 2024 A peak I first saw driving home from California in 2022, a gorgeous triangular skier's paradise rising right over a beautiful lake, I knew I had to come and ski it. I was right, one definitely needs to ski this mountain at some point in their life
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
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
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!
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
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
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
