Trip Description

The plan is to park some vehicles near Arn road just north of Pemberton and some vehicles at Callaghan base/ Alexander Falls base. The route starts by walking up the Miller Creek Power Road to Miller creek and then skiing west up Miller creek, just north of Rhododendron peak. We will then ski west towards Longspur Peak, climb it and descend off of it to the glacier to it's west and then ski northwest, west and then south on the major Pemberton icecap glacier towards Little Ring and Callaghan peaks and then to Callaghan lake from where there is a 13 km road to the Callaghan base/Alexander base. If time and weather permits we may attempt to ski up Rhododendron, Torah and Callaghan mountains.  Also see my attached Google earth file of my planned route or ask me and I can send it to you. Since good weather is required for this ski traverse, it may be postponed a week or two or possibly till next year if the weather is bad. The pace will be slow (because I am slow) and steady. Also we will take lots of breaks to regroup and check out the route. I think it will take us about 6 days but I want to take about 10 days worth of food.
