Timing is Everything

TrevorSexsmith — Tue, 20 Sep 2016 19:47:21 +0000

I’ve been really interested in skiing the remote Mt. Warren and Brazeau for a while, they’re gorgeous 11,000 foot peaks all by their lonesome in Jasper National Park. However, it didn’t quite sink in until this spring that they weren’t like regular 11,000’ers, for which the ideal time of year is usually spring. The only … Continue reading Timing is Everything →

Clag Monster

Late August, it never disappoints! After a bit of a drought, I had been out of the mountains for a while and was itching to get out. I’ve been really fortunate this summer. My first summer skiing, I was just skiing anything, mellow lines and suncups, whatever snow I could find. Last summer, I made … Continue reading Clag Monster →

Little Brother

TrevorSexsmith — Tue, 09 Aug 2016 00:22:56 +0000

In late June, I was posed with a very difficult question on where to head to get my shred on. I was still a bit bitter about the lack of options and rapid melt brought on by the two month period of mid-March to mid May, with things falling apart right when prime season finally … Continue reading Little Brother →

A Moment’s Notice

TrevorSexsmith — Fri, 08 Jul 2016 22:09:04 +0000

Another decent looking storm, another bit of high alpine pow to chase after! All of 12 hours before leaving Golden, I got in touch with Matt to see if he was keen for Mt. Joffre in K Country, an impressive peak and fun looking ski descent, but nothing too scary since I’m over that for … Continue reading A Moment’s Notice →

The White Elephant

TrevorSexsmith — Sun, 03 Jul 2016 20:48:00 +0000

On the summer solstice, Matt and I geared up for a one-day trip to the Jumbo icefield in the Purcells. Leaving Golden around 11pm, we made the long drive out to Farnham Creek then started down the remarkably well-defined trail from the road, down and across Farnham Creek, then up the outflow from the Commander … Continue reading The White Elephant →

Farnham Redux

TrevorSexsmith — Sun, 05 Jun 2016 23:17:25 +0000

Back to Farnham, one of the few that got away. Mt Farnham is the tallest peak in the nearly 400km long Purcell Mountains. When Ian and I tried last March, we found a stout adversary, with ceaseless winds and hardly enough snow to cover the many chokes of the couloir. We made it up though, … Continue reading Farnham Redux →

Summits and Icefields

TrevorSexsmith — Thu, 19 May 2016 20:20:23 +0000

I’ve been waiting for the right time to do a big mission out on the Columbia icefield for a while. With this rapidly maturing spring making most peaks with a valley bottom approach an extra slog to get to, the season was right. And after the thermostat was stuck on high for so long, then … Continue reading Summits and Icefields →

King of the Bush

TrevorSexsmith — Fri, 13 May 2016 05:27:35 +0000

The Bush Mountain massif has been the secondary objective of a few trips now. Last year, we were going to ski some of its three peaks (Rostrum 3284m, Icefall 3195m, Bush (peak) 3081m) after Arras peak on the other side of the valley, but ran out of weather window. Then this April, Ian and I … Continue reading King of the Bush →

Redux

TrevorSexsmith — Thu, 05 May 2016 18:27:47 +0000

I hate unfinished business. I’ve felt Murchison taunting me since my poor routefinding and sleep-deprived state nixed my first attempt. I thought the route to the summit ridge could be feasible but never got the chance to give it the full inspection up close to know for sure. So I had to go back and … Continue reading Redux →
