2011-04-02 Spring backcountry skiing in Bowron Lake PP

What a wonderful way to end the ski season! The Cariboo Ski Touring Club enjoys a daytrip skiing the beginning section of the Bowron Lakes Canoe Circuit; well-known as one of the top ten canoe trips on the planet. Mind-blowing landscapes, snowy peaks, wide-open lakes and a fine and friendly crew of skiers made for an awesome experience. Thanks to John Redburn for leading this daytrip and introducing some newcomers to the pleasures of spring skiing in the backcountry!

2007-01-31 Snowshoe Trip - Moose Heights to Fraser River

Incredible landforms, plenty of animal tracks, solitude, silence and cold describe this winter trip; since travelling through an active landslide area it is best done during and after a prolonged cold snap. Giant cracks in the ground parallel the gorge formed by the landslide; you could still hear water flowing beneath you near the bottom, even at -30 degrees C! The gorge goes all the way from Moose Heights to the bank of the Fraser. I'm not sure what the elevation gain is but it's enough to make your ears pop on the drive from town and river level up Armstrong Hill to the start point at the Messoms'.
