South facing
A new little video clip form one of our last day in the Coastal range, in between Alaska and Yukon. In the middle of the boreal winter, I like to ski on South facing slopes to get a bit of sun. Click on the image below to see the clip.

Winter is back
Skiers are depressed because of the unusual absence of snow in the Whitehorse area. But in the mountains, it is not too bad, even better than some previous years. Snow amount is not too bad, close to 1 meter at White Pass summit, and the stability is mostly good.Not a lot of depth hoar yet,…

Dry winter…
I would like to share pictures of great snow and good skiing…. But, so far we have a very dry winter. White Pass is a bit better than Haines Pass but the amount of snow is well below the normal for this time of the year. It is possible to ski, we had some nice…
