Beaver Glacier Camp

TrevorSexsmith — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 01:47:23 +0000

I’ve been looking at Beaver Mountain for a while. I think I saw it from the Dogtooth Range in late season-July a few years back, and its north face looked like it should be a perfect steep canvas of white in winter. Of course, that isn’t the case, it’s a traffic jam of seracs trying … Continue reading Beaver Glacier Camp →

Sifton

TrevorSexsmith — Wed, 25 Feb 2015 02:16:18 +0000

After the last few weeks of high pressure and warm, I had written off skiing at the pass. But apparently a storm came and went without registering on my radar, and left in its wake great alpine conditions. OK, let’s go skiing! Two guys from Golden and two from Revy met up at the discovery … Continue reading Sifton →

Rockies XXL

TrevorSexsmith — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 04:12:27 +0000

Today I skied the longest run on the Trans-Canada: Mt Vaux west face. Two thousand meters of vertical, straight down. No flat section, no traversing, no trees to dodge, just a massive run straight down. If you dropped a ski, you could potentially have a very very bad day. A few days back I noticed … Continue reading Rockies XXL →

Sorcerer Lodge

TrevorSexsmith — Sun, 01 Feb 2015 00:41:19 +0000

A few weeks ago, I was approached with an incredible deal on a week up at Sorcerer Lodge, so good that I couldn’t refuse. I was so stoked I hadn’t even cleared it with work before I committed to it! Anyways, things ended up working out, and before I knew it, I was on a … Continue reading Sorcerer Lodge →

Wisdom

TrevorSexsmith — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 16:53:34 +0000

I’ve wanted these lines since I first skied at KHMR. They stare at you, nice and close to the hill, but with a much higher skill level requirement than the rest of the easily accessed rad terrain just out of bounds. Yesterday I finally got the Wisdom Tooth and the Middle Tooth. Luke and I … Continue reading Wisdom →

Braaaap Assisted Touring

TrevorSexsmith — Mon, 29 Dec 2014 21:40:18 +0000

OK so short n sweet entry today. Just another fun couloir in Gorman done. Get off work, load up the sled and by noon be standing ontop of a rad 350m couloir in waist-deep snow; so this is why I decided living in the mountains instead of living near the mountains was so worth whatever … Continue reading Braaaap Assisted Touring →

Ursus Minor SE Couloir (and others)

TrevorSexsmith — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 18:32:17 +0000

Damn, I love Ursus Minor! Such a cool climb up, from trees to a great bit of steep skinning up the S face, then scrambling up some difficult looking rock (emphasis on “looking”) to the summit. We went for the SE couloir, one of the lines I haven’t yet done on this awesome mountain. Based … Continue reading Ursus Minor SE Couloir (and others) →

Gorman Early-season Shred

TrevorSexsmith — Wed, 19 Nov 2014 17:17:12 +0000

It seems like Gorman Lake is my own little playground. I punched the first skintrack up last weekend, used it again for the traverse last week, and again this weekend for some freeride-y lines around the lake. No other usage but myself and people I bring. It’s quite a burden to have to ski out … Continue reading Gorman Early-season Shred →

Northern Dogtooth Range Traverse

TrevorSexsmith — Fri, 14 Nov 2014 01:11:34 +0000

Who says you can’t do a ski traverse early season? I’ve been wanted to do a more gnarly version of this Northern Dogs traverse for a while, but dropping blind into the gnar isn’t a great way to do things. Thought by doing a Gorman-Quartz traverse early season, I’d get a good look at everything, … Continue reading Northern Dogtooth Range Traverse →

Destroyer of Worlds

TrevorSexsmith — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 07:11:14 +0000

Destroyer Peak, BC rockies. A pretty small peak of 2700m and change, but somehow maintains a rather large glacier. And two steep rad ice faces on the N and NE flanks. On the drive in, we were treated to a rather spectacular sunrise to the south: After the truck took us up the grueling, steep … Continue reading Destroyer of Worlds →
