Fernando Pereira: SkiTrips, gear, photos, placesSpearhead Glacier- December 24, 2005 While in Whistler between the NIPS workshops and a meeting in Seattle, I took a day tour in the area of the Spearhead Glacier, guided by ACMG mountain guide Chris Lawrence working that day for the Whistler Alpine Guides Bureau. The day was cold. Ongoing snow squalls impaired visibility but laid a couple of inches of nice fluff on top of mostly windpacked snow. The picture shows a view of the glacier from one of the cols we climbed (more pictures). The bleak landscape offers an intense contrast..http://radio.weblogs.com/0100167/categories/ski/2005/12/24.html#a462 |
