Pat, Danielle and I had planned to head up to the southern Chilcotins and ski a peak about which Pat has obsessed - Dickson. To sum it up, the forecast initially looked good but the weather gods conspired against use and our plans to ski off Dickson Peak's east face were dashed by rapidly deteriorating weather. Regardless of this non-summit, we managed to check out a great area, and we scouted some other alarmingly large peaks and managed to see some new terrain.

Nice pics. That is beautiful country up there. And I note the bear is showing very good form, and note is unroped!

As usual awesome photos! The wide angle shots are particularly sharp!
