It has been while since I skied at Haines Summit. Weather forecast was still “good”, sunny anyway but cold and windy…so very cold. Temperature was around -20c but with a moderate North wind, the windchill was around -40c sometimes. Snow pack is not so different than White Pass. Not a lot of snow, so dry,…
Weather conditions are getting back to the normal with cold, a bit windy and unfortunately no snow. We got a bit of fresh snow last week…just a bit between 1 and 3 cm but everywhere now the snowpack is frozen solid with a important and supportive frozen crust. Not too funny if you are looking…
After the crazy weather that we had, the weather is nice again, but the snow pack has been very affected. The storm with rain, strong wind affected the entire region apparently and it rained above 2000 meters of elevation. White Pass looks like the end of may now with not a lot of snow left.…
Good weather finally at White Pass, the road was open, so we went to see the result after the passage of the warm front with good snowfalls, warm temperatures and strong wind. It was a bit cloudy in the morning, especially in the alaskan side, temperature was close to zero but always negative with a…

A nice article about me and ski touring in Yukon. Thank you Ryan and Gary for the good job.
A little trip to Powder Valley, but without a lot of powder . Snow pack has been very wind affected above the tree line. So powder can just be found below the tree line. The snowpack is still thin, ski conditions are variable from poor to good. The weather was great, it was -27 c…
The ski season is not completely on. The snow pack is very thin, the ground is not well covered, especially the unleveled rocky ground that we have in the White Pass area. So far, the only decent ski conditions are found on glaciers. Now, backcountry users are very aware about avalanches,but, sometime not very aware…
Last year, I had the chance to lead a tour for some journalist. We were not so lucky with the weather and snow conditions, but Ryan Creary and Ryan Stewart are very good professional and you can see the article in the November issue of Backcountry Magazine
