Description

Callaghan Valley
Exploration

The plan is to leave Vancouver on Friday the
14th of April and come back on Sunday evening,
16th of April 2017.

This return date changed to
Sunday, 16th of April, as most of the people
don’t have the day off.

As we will be using the groomed trails to
acces the camp area, we need to purchase an
online a ticket :$25.75+GST per person.

This trip is NOT beginner friendly
due to long consecutive days of amazing skiing
🙂

There is about 12km long
slog through mellow terrain ,
following a small creek up to Callaghan Lodge
area, that would bring us to a nice meadow
below Solitude Glacier where will have our base
camp for the long weekend.

There is tons of terrain to explore
within short distance from our campsite: will
decide the exact objectives later on as we know
more about the weather conditions and group
preferences.

Here is a sample itineray subject to heavy
changes due to weather conditions..etc:

• Friday: ski in and make camp then ski
  some melow stuff in the afternoon:2h max
• Saturday: Full day of exploration on the
  Wast side of the Valley, Solitude Glacier area
  or Journeyman area.
• Sunday: Full day of exploration on the
  East side of the Valley, Hidden Peak area
  (Morning Glory) or even an attempt to get to
  Callaghan Peak then ski out

Please note that if your are into very steep
lines and chutes, this might not be the trip
you want to join as I am not keen to get into
that kind of terrain.
