Garibaldi May 12, 13

Post by LeeLau »

Stu and I did a two day two night trip to try to ski some peaks in Garibaldi Park. On the first day, weather followed us around and objectives were adjusted - we tried to ski Parapet, Hour Pk, Castle Towers and clouds followed us. We gave in to fate and skied off Sphinx Gl.

The next day, all the cards fell into place and we skied off Mt Garibaldi. The corn cycle took a little while longer to start than usual & we waited on the peak taking in the view for an hour in 18 degree warm temps and basically zero wind. Our timing was perfect, the corn was perfect and we ripped turns 850m down the Warren Gl.The ski out was exceedingly warm and we fried like ants on a magnifying glass on Garibaldi Lake and the entire ski-out.

Looks like you had some excellent corn snow. I enjoyed your video.

Try having a peek at the East Face of Carr from the summit one of these days. It's choice.

Carr is an awesome descent.Then Parapet isn't too far to get too.As long as you are staying at the cabin.What kind of
boots are you using.
