It will be at 7:00pm in the Buchanan building room A100 on UBC campus in Vancouver. Feel free to invite anyone you want, it's also FREE! The book MAY be available to buy at the show... Bio: John Baldwin is an author, nature photographer and outdoor enthusiast with a special interest in wilderness and mountain photography. Always curious about what lies over the next ridge, he has spent the past 35 years exploring and photographing the Coast Mountains, completing numerous first ascents and pioneering many long ski traverses, often to remote areas that have rarely been visited. He has written about his backcountry skiing and mountaineering adventures in “Exploring the Coast Mountains on Skis”, “Mountains of the Coast” and “Backcountry Whistler Map”. His talk and slideshow will present an overview of ski mountaineering in the wild Coast Mountains of western BC with stories and descriptions of some of his favourite places and a chance to ask questions about his adventures. Title of Presentation: Ski Wild: overview and stories of ski mountaineering in the Coast Mountains of western BC Blurb: Blessed by some of the deepest snowfalls on the continent, the Coast Mountains offer some of the finest ski mountaineering in North America. John has recently published a completely revised third edition of his guidebook “Exploring the Coast Mountains on Skis”. He will give an overview of some of his favourite places for backcountry skiing in the the Coast Mountains, from local slopes to trips deep in the wilderness across remote icefields that stretch north to Alaska.
