hafilax Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Trip: Garibaldi - Neve Traverse and Mount Garibaldi Date: 4/24/2009 Trip Report: I guess it's about time I posted a TR here. This was an amazing trip and a more complete write up can be found on clubtread. A long slog got us onto the Neve on Friday night. We awoke to clear skies and great snow. A party of 6 had passed us early in the morning as we dozed and I could see snowboard tracks off the peak. It looked like the ideal conditions for skiing Garibaldi. The objective Me contemplating the route We skinned right up to the shrund and followed the boot pack of the previous party with ice ax in hand. The 'shrund was maybe 10cm wide at the time and easy to cross. Looking North along the 'shrund Making the summit Aaron starts skiing down Lining it up Heading toward the 'shrund Skiing the lower rolls We made it back to the camp at around 2. After quickly assembling it on the packs we headed for the lake with great skiing. The crevasses between the Tent and the Shark Fin were nicely filled in and easily navigated. Evening in Sentinel Bay This was my first trip across the Neve and an amazing one at that. It was incredible to ski from the top of Garibaldi to the lake in a day in such beautiful weather.

Lisa_D Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 major jealousy! Snowshoeing to the Garibaldi hut and watching people on randonee skis inspired me to get an AT setup. This trip is a dream of mine. Beautifully done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I remember when I did this trip with Fern and Billygoat we were looking pretty hard for the Nodder. Where is that Nodder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
