Fairy Meadows Cabin, North Selkirks, 2006
It took me a few days to realize that the gnary terrain featured on
the cover of this book at the cabin was indeed one of the areas
that we had been skiing.
Our fabled abode at the foot of the glaciers as illustrated by Jeff.
This is exactly how it looked after we picked up all the beer cans!
Day 1
The fly in and familiarize day.
(at breakfast before the flight in) "Do you have ski crampons? This is a
good trip for ski crampons. If you can, buy them now; quickly!"
We discovered an excellent way to pass the time while waiting for
the Helicopter to shuttle us and the gear...
After being brutalized by carrying all our gear and food up the
92 steep and icey stairs (but who's counting?) from the heli
pad to the cabin, we actually had enough energy for a short tour.
Up, underneath the Houdini Needles we practiced beacon searching,
beacon finding, and most challenging of all, we tried remembering
everyone's name in our stunningly large group of 18.
Here's a good shot of the cabin in all it's splendor, as well as
Matthias, and my skis off to the right. I love my skis!
