Trip Description

I know its a bit last minute, but think things might clear enough for Wednesday afternoon turns at Heliotrope.

 

I climbed at the seracs on Monday and there is good coverage (see picture) and there was a bunch of people getting nice turns in and there has been more snow since then.

 

Plan to head early Wednesday morning from Vancouver and ski till about 16:00

 

As this is short notice, please txt or email me to let me know your in and we can organise cars etc

See page 175 of the Baldwin Guide for route info

Beacon, Probe & Shovel

Headlamp
