Whistler Mav – We got plenty of light here ; 10:30 am start – back at the trailhead by 4:30 for these missions, but even in the coming dark months there is is at least solid 6 hours of skiing time possible. Dec-Jan start in the dark usually and maybe return in the dark too, but it works. The cold is the bigger problem – Jan start skinning at -20 f or colder even. Take a 5 minute break and you are going hypo. No room for errors then.

D Green – That dude is as loose as a goose, so I am not surprised. BGnight and I watched him start a massive slab and just disappear into the abyss. Finally he popped out and then sent the heli back up to get us for a sketchy ass toe-in pick up. But I always tip him phat because he makes it happen.
