The Bugaboo to Rogers Pass Traverse is a classic. A tough, technical traverse with some incredible skiing along the way.

Garibaldi Neve Traverse - A Coastal Classic

So, a week after doing the Spearhead Traverse I flew back to Vancouver to do a repeat crossing of a favourite weekend trip of mine - the Garibaldi Neve Traverse. This time though, instead of a four day weekend, Christine and I had one of those annoying 'regular' weekends with only two days in which to cover 38km and 1900m of elevation gain.
