Trip Description

A classic trip in the Joffre Lake area: the views from the top are mind blowing:)

Please be considerate and do NOT sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are at least an intermediate skier(can do black runs in any conditions, including trees) in the Backcountry. You need to have at least 10 days of backcountry skiing experience and be able to move at moderate-fast speed. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it:) 

We might do a loop to Mt Taylor from there, so be prepared for a longer day: add 2-3km more to the trip length.

Will be moving at a moderate-fast pace. Not for slow people, sorry.

You should be comfortable with a bit of glacier travel(no special equipment required), very similar with Decker and Blackcomb glaciers. 

Distance: 14km Elevation Gain: 1200m or so Summit area 2375m Estimated Time: 7-8hrs

 

MUST have :

  • AST1 training
  • Shovel, probe and avi beacon
  • Food and water for the whole day
  • First aid kit!
  • Ski Helmet
  • Headlamp with spare batteries
  • Ski crampons!!
