A video I have made last summer in the Yukon side of the Mont Saint Elias range close to Mont Logan. The weather was not very cooperative but we had a lot of fun and enjoyed the majesty of this wild and wonderful piece of earth. Click on the picture below to see the video:
Soon the video of our climbing/skiing trip in the Saint Elias mountains, while waiting, a few images. https://youtu.be/3e9ZXp1Kgvc
The season is not over yet, for me it looks like it is the best time of the year, with endless daylight and still reasonable temperatures, not too cold but not too warm. Stability is better than all winter long if you avoid being too late on the slopes. With a hard snowpack, it is easy…
You do not need a special occasion to go to Haines Alaska, if you like unusual lifestyle, something wild, Haines is the place. But, it is powder time and the Freeride World Tour stopped in Haines for a week, another good reason to go and meet friends and pro-riders. It was very inspiring for the…
A good day skiing at White Pass today, but be cautious, there are some significant changes in the snowpack. The weather was not great but not completely bad. We stopped at Log Cabin SE face (Halcyon) because of the good visibility and the minimal exposure to the cold N wind, we even got a bit…
