Blackcomb Glacier is one of the most amazing trails I’ll
ever have the fortune to ski. Just reaching the headwall of the glacier is a
minor achievement needing a short “skis-off” hike up from the Glacier T-Bar before
traversing below a yawning crevasse. The superb, 12k run begins in a huge, wide
bowl tapering into a narrower fissure before cascading onto a wide, flat
plateau. At the edge of the snow-field,
there was a poignant tribute to a friend. Skiing past, I couldn’t help but
think they must have been well loved to be remembered in such a beautiful place
