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

By Martin Lefebvre for the Canadian Alpine Journal 2013
It was around May 15, 2012 when I limped back into the snow safety office at Sunshine Village and had a chance to catch up with Kevin. After a quick hey hows it going, the next words out of my mouth were, “if you ever wanna go to Clemenceau, I'm in!” Without even blinking Kevin said “lets do it!” He immediately hopped on the computer and started looking at weather and flight costs. My jaw dropped and my knee started to swell up upon hearing his response. “Umm... I was thinking more about next year” But it was already too late to turn back. After hearing of the amazing solo descent of the North Face of Bryce we felt like there was a bit of mad rush for the classic un-skied faces of the Rockies.
