THIS TRIP WAS DEFERRED AND IS NOW A "GO" FOR
SUNDAY, AS WE'LL HAVE
GOOD WEATHER. DUE TO CANCELLATIONS THERE ARE A
COUPLE SPOTS OPEN. I'LL BE DRIVING OUT
SATURDAY. SLED LINED-UP FOR SUN MORNING. IF
INTERESTED SIGN UP AND PHONE ME 403 803-4205.
6 day trip out to Kootenay Lake where a
local
sled
will be hired to tow us 16 km up
into Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.
(est $100 pp). Ski-
camping traverse across the park, climbing
Kokanee,
Woodbury and Caribou Glaciers and Kane Ice
Field.
Enjoy some long ski descents. Spending the
first night and the last night at my house at
Woodbury BC as the base and 4 nights camping
out. Accommodation at my house
$25/night, bring bathing suit for sauna.
CAVEAT: The route is exposed to glacier
hazards
and complex avalanche terrain so we want the
snowpack and weather conditions to be
favourable.
Participants should have competent abilities
for this trip (skiing, avi assessment and
crevasse rescue). There is no professional or
guide, only backcountry ski enthusiasts, so
each person is responsible for making their own
safety assessments and decisions. Having said
all this, the skiing should be as good as it
gets!
NOTE ON SLEDS: We'll be rope-towed on our
skis (probably
double) behind snowmobile, with some rest
stops. Must be comfortable with this. In my
opinion it's fun, however arms can get fatigued
from hanging on. Definitely a lot less $ than
helicopter.
