Aemmer with Cody Townsend / November 13, 2019 by kevin hjertaas

Last winter Kevin got to ski the Aemmer couloir with Cody Townsend, Bjarne Salen and Chris Rubens as part of Cody’s FIFTY Project. Check it out!

A last minute decision to go to a place not known for mid-winter steep skiing descents takes the crew to the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Yet just getting there is half the battle with sketchy highways, early cold mornings and a 13km walk just to get to the base of the infamously beautiful Aemmer Couloir in Banff National Park.

Spring shred! / March 15, 2018 by kevin hjertaas

Last week was a little Spring preview for the Canadian Rockies! We managed to get some clients on top of some pretty rad lines and even had time to get out and play. Check this edit by Chris Rubens from last Tuesday on Vermillion Peak. Time to plan your spring ski mountaineering!

Pre-Season Aemmer Couloir. What it's REALLY like to ski before you should. / September 28, 2016 by kevin hjertaas

A fairly honest look at what it's like to "Ski" lines early or even pre season.

Nov. 11, 2010 there was about as much snow as some early Octobers but Martin Lefebvre and I headed up the Aemmer Couloir on Mt. Temple anyway. Here's the story from Biglines.com
