NOTE: THE DATE MIGHT CHANGE BUT THIS IS MY BEST GUESS. LOOKING FOR INDICATIONS OF INTEREST. 6 days of backcountry skiing at some sweet
spots in west Kootenay.
There will be complex avalanche terrain. 1 night of winter camping if not too cold ie-15 (it's much milder out there than Alberta). This is so we can ski summit Mt Brennan and enjoy a >1500 vertical meter powder ski decent
DAY 1: On the drive out we'll stretch the legs
with a
ski tour at Kootenay Pass, spending the night
at Hotel Ymir. Take in the Friday night
Hillbilly Jam session and dinner special in the
pub.
DAYS 2-5: Day trips
based out of B&B near Kaslo, minutes
from ski
objectives.
Winter camp for one
night.
DAY 6:
Stop for more turns at
Kootenay Pass or elsewheres
on the drive back to Alberta.
Accommodations approx $30/night for hotel Ymir and B&B.
Winter camping experience not required but you need suitable gear. I can help with any questions.
