Sea to Sky Glaciers:
We have been flying many of the glaciers along the South Coast / Sea-to-Sky in the fall to get a feel for what they look like without a few meters of snow hiding all the crevasses. Given how fast our glaciers are changing with the warmer climate we felt it was worth taking a look at these once very familiar areas to see what’s different to help with our decision making over the winter. All these photos are set up to be downloaded so feel free to take them with you on your phone when you’re out skiing/riding or mountaineering.
Red Tusk Beta – Tantalus Range:
Here’s some route info we did up a few years ago for the Red Tusk north face route as there wasn’t any mention of it in any guidebooks at the time. There is some info in the new Alpine Select that can be added to some of the photos here: LINK TO RED TUSK PDF
