recommendations for BC? was created by rockme2
Can anyone recommend a couple of ski traverse options for the BC Coast Mountains? I've never been skiing up there but seen great mountains and glacier around Garibaldi to Pemberton.

Is there an easy ice-field traverse or a favored three to four day glaciers loop? I'd also try and find a ski-to-camp where there are some nearby "blue square" peak runs.

Thanks for any advise!!

Look into the Garibaldi Neve, Spearhead Traverse or the Mcbride Range Traverse - Waddington is also incredible, but something to work towards and much longer then 3-4 days.

There is also much to do in the Duffy Lake Area in the Joffre/Matier and Cerise areas as well as many others. But I would hirely recommend the Garibaldi Neve!!! Check out some trip reports on Bivouac.com

I'd be down for some information there too. Trying to plan a 4 day trip right now.

I'd say check out Baldwin too; lots of traverses as well as standard tours.
There are several TRS in TAY on the Spearhead Traverse.
Try Valhalla Pure in Squamish, or the Escape Hatch in Whistler, for current conditions?
