or a high clearance vehicle. Which I had neither. I sure underestimated this trip.
Driving up the Squamish valley, once the paved road ended I immediately was dragging my under carriage through
that centre lane of snow. We forged on past the other two wheel drive truck. We attempted the very first climb and got
denied by gravity.
Just like the Blade Runner said "If it was easy everyone would be doing it."
The slog began with a walk then a skin on a logging roads. Good thing we had our light skis.
There was a maze of turnoffs with one skin track most of the way. To follow or not, sure follow the track and
waste an hour. Luckily it was good travel snow and we were motivated by the good weather. Night was fading fast
but we managed to skin up the glacier up a short chute and quick scramble up to the summit.
We skied down the SW face on wind affected snow with isolated pockets of descent snow. It was a hard day but we
were stoked to get into a new area and ski some spring snow in December.
Should we stay or should we go.
