Sorcerer Lodge Midweek
Photo: Kristin Campbell. Jeff Campbell skiing in the sunset.
The weather for the week was light snow showers over night with plummeting temperatures throughout the week. Our coldest day reached a balmy -18degrees F. But these cold temperatures preserved the quality of the snow and even though we did not receive any significant snowfall we still skied daily freshies. The Avalanche conditions...
Sorcerer Lodge, British Columbia- Day 1
The Sorcerer Lodge is a backcountry ski hut located in the northern most part of Glacier National Park near Golden, British Columbia. The hut itself sits at 2050meters (6750ft) elevation right below tree line in the Selkirk Mountain Range. In the Selkirks there is often a deep, consistent snowpack of 2 to 4 meters, which means plenty of snow fall and epic powder turns! The lodge offers backcountry...

We originally had plans to summit Merchant Peak but low snow cover made the drainage we were traveling through unsafe. After some interesting skinning, a few face...
Recon Missions
Early season for Jeff and I is all about the numbers, trying to log as much vertical hiking as possible to prepare for our larger objectives. This weekend there was a window of sunny skies on Saturday for about 6 hours of the day so we headed to Mt Rainier to do a little recon hiking in an area called Paradise. The recent rain event, wind and sun exposure made for some interesting skiing but the...
Early Season Training
This past weekend Jeff and I took an Avalanche Refresher course with the American Alpine Institute at Mt Baker, WA. We reviewed snow science, terrain management and rescue scenarios. There is a wealth of knowledge about avalanche safety in books and online but no written information can replace clinics and personal instruction.
Our go to resource for weather and current avalanche conditions is...
