Fairy Meadows: Sir William and Enterprise

Click on all photos for larger image. Our last day of the week at Fairy Meadows broke clear in the morning and we were all anxious to get ski touring. Steep moraines led us back up and onto Granite Glacier, with our objectives for the day being Mount Sir William and Enterprise Peak. Some new […]

I’ve got a couple more posts from the Fairy Meadows trip if people are interested, but I figured we’d take a break for now. Check out this Skiing Mount Everest trailer.

Exploring Spaulding Peak…And Off to Canada!

Well, it most certainly has been a trying last few days. I’d like to thank my bosses, Phil Leeds and Jeff Crabtree of Skinny Skis, for giving the time I needed to get my head straightened out. I’ve worked at the store for about 13 years now, so that should tell you what kind of […]

Fairy Meadows Hut…Paid in Full

Somehow things have fallen into place and I’ll be heading up to the Fairy Meadows Hut in the Selkirk Mountains of Canada in less than a month.
