Descending Mt Banck, Antarctica

The descent of Mt Banck, which overlooks the western entrance to Paradise Harbour, has a stunning backdrop of active ice cliffs.

Dropping over Friendship Col

Keith Walton having fun dropping off the cornice that hangs over Friendship Pass. This is not normally the sort of thing that you do at the end of a long ski tour, but it looked so inviting that we threw our rucksack down and then went for it.

Fairy Meadows Powder

The descent from Friendship Pass to Fairey Meadows gave us endless untracked powder snow, and our final turns after 22 days of crossing the Bugaboos and Adamants. Hence the huge rucksack!

Snowpatch Spire, Bugaboos

Snowpatch Spire in the Bugaboos gave a dramatic backdrop on the first day of our 220 mile ski traverse from the Bugaboos to the Adamants.

Wapta Icefield evening descent

At the end of the Wapta Icefields, whose traverse is a lovely 5-day ski tour, we spent our final evening in the hills dropping off cornices and playing on steep slopes. Pure heaven.
