Mt. Currie- Pencil Chute

Mt.Currie is an iconic peak. Easily viewed as you enter the town of Pemberton, that begs to be skied.
From the early days of jump turns. I first saw a short video of Trevor Peterson and Erik Pehota getting
dropped off in a heli and shredding an ice runnel as the spring snow sluffed at each turn on skinny skis.

I missed my opportunity to get dropped off for $65 in the 90's. I remember a quote. "The mountain will
always be there." I didn't think it would actually take this long to get there.There are so many endless
lines in the Coast range that don't require a heli, so I just chose to walk to most of them along the way.

Currie was always in the back of my mind, so it was cool to finally pull it off. Even if it was with twelve
people. Six per chute. Each going in groups of three at a time. A lot different than slogging up through the
depths below fighting through trees and looming cornices overhead teetering in the mid day sun.

I really want to ski that, too. Hopefully I won't wait as long as you did, but you never know.

Super cool Andy!

rad Andy! musta've been cool to ride in the heli, "gentleman style" as E$ says.

Glad you got to ski it, and ski the next day with me too at Duffey. Not a bad two days. I was pretty psyched about the one day.

yeah Andy, way to take the opportunity. sweet looking line, also on my list.
