skykilo Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Trip: SWBC - Early Season Alpine Steeps in the Coast Mountains Date: 1/19/2011 Trip Report: The first week of December, I had the great pleasure to ski alpine steeps in the Spearhead Range and finish the day with a long run down Husume all the way to Whistler. There hasn't really been a letdown since. The quality of this season for the type of skiing I love best continues to blow my mind. This song expresses how I feel about it all. [video:youtube]lPM3V-qfUCo December 4 - Skied the NW Face of Pattison with Alex and Ziff. What time is it!? On the way to Pattison That's some nice early-season alpine powpow. More from NW Face of Pattison December 17-19: An epic birthday trip with the cc.com artist known as lunger. He's old as dirt but he still kills it. We hit the West Face of Iago Even though we had to pull some spicy ski-boot shenanigans to get through the high route below Overlord. Old man on the rocks. This thing was a mellow little str8line two weeks later. The line was epic apres-sunset powder. More on the West Face of Iago. Then lunger and I hit a party in Pemby with one of the best DJs in the world and some 16yo chicks tried to panty-raid us. But we stayed the course and schralped the Aussie Couloir on Joffre the next day. That's that thang. And this too is good. There are some happy light-show photos on my Aussie Couloir TR. December 30 - We bailed on a more epic trip during an arctic outflow while Ryan unfortunately got frostbite on his toes. Sorry about that, buddy. Alex and I were superstoked to bag the North Face of Cheakamus as a consolation prize, though. Powgasm There is much more in my North Face of Cheakamus Mountain TR. January 3 - Naomi is a badass ski-racer rock-climber experimental-nuclear-astrophysicist lady from Austria. She got her first touring setup and to christen it, we dropped Joffre Couloir. Here's her setup and our anchor to rap the rock step at the top. She was fresh off the plane from a three-week trip to visit family in Japan and she had a superfancy new camera. She took this neato action shot. More about our Joffre Couloir shenanigans. Now Naomi has her legs so Wednesday we hit the trifecta on Tremor and Pattison Naomi on North Face of Tremor Skiing Hourglass Couloir on the west side of Tremor Tremor, I'm still quaking. I just skied in my pants! More on Tremor, North Face and Hourglass Couloir plus Pattison Many thanks to all my BC-schralping partners in crime and MUCHAS GRACIAS, LA NINA! hasta luego Quote
