Spearhead Traverse
March 06, 2008 - March 09, 2008
Europe has the Haute Route. The Northwest has the Spearhead Traverse. This high alpine ski tour features everything it takes to become a classic. Easy access, a spectacular setting in the back country of the continent's best ski area, heavily glaciated terrain and even a hut make it a must for anybody who is serious about ski touring.
It seems incredible to me that a ski traverse of such quality and easy access (we take the lift to the top of the Blackcomb ski area) can still offer so much solitude and such a wilderness experience. What else do you need?
