Carey ridge ski mountaineering trip, C3

Originally published at: Carey ridge ski mountaineering trip, C3 – Alpine Club of Canada Vancouver Island Section

3 day ski mountaineering trip with the objective to make it into a remote section of Strathcona park – with or without skis. Carey ridge objective uncertain due to access road conditions. Plan B could be Mt. Moyeha via Jim Mitchell lake, Plan C Sheppard’s ridge if it doesn’t make sense to bring the skis. Flexibility to adjust schedule to weather and AVI conditions would be ideal.

Necessary skills: Backcountry skiing with AST1, steep snow travel with crampons and ice axe

Gear needed: Winter camping, backcountry skis/board, crampons & ice ax
