Aslu-Elaho Ski Traverse


This is in preliminary planning stages. Participants must have backcountry skiing experience. Information on the trip can be found in John Baldwin's ski guide in the clubroom.

Trip length is about 3-4 days.

Interested Participants

  1. Richard So
  2. Tim Blair
  3. Christian Veenstra
  4. Ben Singleton-Polster
  5. Scott Webster
  6. Sebastian Oppel (who signed me up, it wasn't me but thank's tim or rich?)
  7. Fred Touche (maybe)
  8. Sandra Nicol

Details:

Group Gear


  • One 30m rope between 3 people.
  • First Aid Kit (list items here)
  • Binding repair kit

Road Access:

Ashlu Main

Hedberg & Associates 604-815-4555 seem to be the people using this road.

According to a post on Bivouac.com, the IPP construction is keeping the Ashlu-Main road clear of snow to Km 6. We should look at the maps at see if we want to take Ashlu A700/720 up to Buck Mountain to start (steep bushwack likely), and then ski down the road from Shortcut Creek (approx 18km) or the opposite.
