Back from Northern Selkirks Traverse


We cruised through the traverse in 10 days. Lots of very wild country and some pretty remote valleys. I must admit now to have only done two half days of ski touring this winter.... We put in some good solid 12 hours of touring and covered 15-20 km per day with some days having 5-7,000 ft of vertical. Beautiful touring weather with lots of cool temperatures and sunny days. Cruised through big mountain valleys and over high peaks and had a few helicopter from CMH buzz us. Dropped into the ACMG Assistant Ski Guides course at Moberly Pass where they looked like they were having some fun. Spent a night at the Fairy Meadows Lodge and two nights at the Great Cairn Cabin. Then it was up and over two big mountain passes and out to Mica Creek.
