Umtanum Creek - 05/03/09

Jim, Katie, Kathleen, Amy, and I headed out on a wildflower hike. This would be my first hike since hurting my knee and was only able to stay by the creek. Therefore, I walked alone while the others gained Umtanum Ridge. It was a great time and definitely needed after weeks of being in the city.

Fairy Meadow Hut BC Ski - 03/28/09-04/04/09

Matt, Emily, and I were lucky enough to head up to Canada for another week of backcountry skiing. However, this time were were extremely lucky as we were able to book a spot in the Fairy Meadow Backcountry Hut, which stands at approximately 6700 feet and is perfectly situated next to the Adamant Group, the Gothics Group, and the Nobility Group in the Northern Selkirks. We were able to meet up with some excellent folk including Shane, Dale, Fraser, Chris, Kevin, Lisa, and Alistair. We spent day after day of skiing the excellent Selkirk cream, while spending every night eating fine cuisine and playing poker. It was such an amazing trip and was seriously depressed for a few weeks after returning to civilization.

Day 1: We flew into the hut and went skiing on the practise slopes. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-03_28_09/

Day 2: We practises some crevasse rescue and went to the summit of Sentinel Peak. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-03_29_09/

Day 3: We set out for Mount Sir William, but ran into a total windstorm of extremely high sustained winds and was only able to ski around the Granite Glacier Moraines. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-03_30_09/

Day 4: We set out on the Granite Glacier and made it up to Pioneer Pass. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-03_31_09/

Day 5: We set out for Sir William again, but whiteout conditions forced us to head to Unicol and we lapped the Granite Glacier. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-04_01_09/

Day 6: In order to find good weather, we went over Friendship Col and summitted Pioneer Peak and then lapped Friendship Col. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-04_02_09/

Day 7: We took it easy and messed around Friendship Col and the practise slopes all day. It was great to spend a mellow day taking lots of pictures and video. Shane even busted out the helmet cam. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-04_03_09/

Day 8: We quicly got done with our chores and lapped the practise slopes until it was time to board the helicopter out. Pictures can be found at http://alpinenapping.com/main.php/v/mountains/2009/fairymeadow-04_04_09/
