General plan in days is 1) ski in to North creek cabin and leave 1 day of supply there for return ski out day; 2) ski in to Pebble creek cabin (~12 km, +2900/-1900 feet, 8-9 hours) see for details https://bcmc.ca/m/events/view/1482253690 ; 3-5) exploring terrain around cabin 6) ski back to North creek cabin 7) ski out back to the Lillooet river road ~5 hours. One day is reserved for rest/bad weather.

Exact schedule will depend on weather, snow and avalanche conditions with conservative consideration of safety. In case of dangerous conditions we could ski the following: gentle Boomerang and Pebble glaciers; explore upper part of Harley river valley; explore approaches to Mt Thiassi; tree skiing; etc.

Note: participants should have experience with multi days self supported backcountry ski trips; there is a fee $15/night/person as contribution to Pebble cabin maintenance (cabin has a sauna).

See John Baldwin book "Exploring the coast Mountains on Skis" p 244-248. Access from the Lillooet river road km 17 (road conditions are described in https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/dsq/engineering/roadinformation.htm). Approach on skis to North creek will take ~8 hours to 1230m cabin location with 700 meters of elevation. It's ~9km (depends on snow level) on logging road and 5km at the bottom of the valley exposed to large avalanches. There are two creek crossings involved: bring light (rubber) shoes for first ford (was needed in march 2016) on way up and down, shoes can also be used inside the cabin. See approach route https://bcmc.ca/m/pedometer/view/North-Creek-cabin-ski-approach.  For non BCMC members there is a nightly fee for cabin usage - see https://bcmc.ca/club_huts.php
