Book Research
28 Feb 2017Preparing for this book continues to prove that without those who have gone before me and done what I’m doing, I’d be lost. The amount of research and practical work has been staggering in it’s volume and complexity. How do I self-publish?Do I crowdfund the book?Where do I print the…

Elemental
27 Feb 2017One enjoyable aspect of ski touring in the same area over and over again is that I get to witness the same landscape sculpted by the ever-changing weather. On this particular day it was a challenge to stand upright as the wind was whipping from behind me over towards Miller…

INVERSION
24 Feb 2017It’s such a cool feeling to be above the clouds. Quite often in the Bulkley Valley we have inversions where I’ll leave town under the grey cover of cloud, only to break through into blue sky as I get closer to the ski hill. This image typifies some of the…

The Littlest of Things
23 Feb 2017Of the many things I love about getting up on the mountain early in the morning, two of my favourite are the glow of the sun on the snow, and the details in the snow
I stare in amazement as the rising sun changes the colour of the snow, highlighting…

Valley Glow
23 Feb 2017In addition to watching the snow change colour from the setting sun, another activity that always comes with a sense of awe and wonder is watching the sky change colour too. It’s almost magical to witness how the light interacts with the clouds to show off an ever-changing colour palette…
