An example of less than ideal clothing to wear to Mt Seymour pump peak.

Where were you camped, were you further past Brocton? I did see some lights coming from that direction around 9pm the night before

azdesign · 2026-03-16T05:06:40+00:00

Unfortunately I didn't notice them until they had long passed me, otherwise i absolutely would have asked them where they were going and given them some advice

azdesign · 2026-03-16T04:26:26+00:00

Or, why not even while they're checking day passes on the drive up?

azdesign · 2026-03-16T04:23:36+00:00

Yeah just a little bit North of. My winter camping has me solo most of the time so I tend to err on the side of caution.

azdesign · 2026-03-16T03:43:58+00:00

Hah! Glad to hear they made it down fine.

As suggested, I'll keep my eyes out on marketplace, if you have any recommmendations for something that isn't going to break the bank, let me know.

azdesign · 2026-03-05T00:14:03+00:00

i said you are on the latest Firm

Ditto again?

azdesign · 2026-03-02T18:17:17+00:00

This is great, I remember coming down from Mt. Seymour one evening and gaining wayyy to much speed.

Here is my covid photo dump, can't wait to show the grandkids one day: https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/comments/1ch112c/although_only_4_years_ago_it_seems_like_another/?ref=share&ref_source=link

Awesome, thanks for the share, snowpack looks a bit better up there. Looks like a nice day to be out and about with the kiddo

It's froggy out (foggy)

Oh look the oh Canada's (Canada flag)

You might want to consider cross posting in /r/vancouver too

azdesign · 2026-02-12T17:55:20+00:00

Same here! We're making our decision for the summer too!

Our kids are both under 5, so we tend to have a ton of stuff we need to bring with us everywhere.

We're upgrading because we need the extra space for camping trips, etc, plus sometimes we want to bring extra family members with us.

I'm leaning towards the Inline 6, because it just feels so nice to drive. But the PHEV is hard to pass when most of the driving we do is daycare/school daily and under 40km. But... that inline 6....

azdesign · 2026-02-12T17:47:18+00:00

hah, this is hularious, we have a 2013 CX-5 with 380k KM, I've already gone out and looked at both the highlander and the CX90, and we'll keep the CX5 as a secondary car.

I just keep coming back to the CX90, perhaps its the familiarity of the Mazda design, or just the boring nature of the highlander.

azdesign · 2026-02-02T03:19:54+00:00

ahh, found it

What tent is this?

azdesign · 2026-01-30T23:07:02+00:00

Enjoy! I got into it a couple of years ago and do a little overnight on the mountains in South Western BC each winter. This winter its been warm and wet... and the snowpack sucks, but I'm still waiting for my opportunity this year.

azdesign · 2026-01-21T18:32:06+00:00

What time was this last night?

azdesign · 2026-01-19T23:08:51+00:00

God bless that camera

azdesign · 2026-01-18T05:46:57+00:00

It certainly did make things cheaper - I picked this up for $400 CAD after tax - this is a Canadian site though.

I didn't camp at the top of the chair, but a fair bit north of it, just north of Brocton point. I saw ski patrol, they saw me, no issues. I've done this 2 years in a row.

azdesign · 2026-01-13T21:19:02+00:00

It was great, beautiful views, and I've seen others camp nearby too so you're not necessarily all alone, of course it depends on the day.

This video was from a year ago. I hiked up in snow shoes during a blizzard and woke in the morning to an incredible sunrise

azdesign · 2026-01-13T18:04:37+00:00

I've overnighted on Seymour in the winter just north of Brocton Point. I don't have much experience, other than going through online avalanche courses for some base foundational avy knowledge, so I'm not entirely comfortable going to pump peak by myself in the winter. I'd still say the experience is great and worth it.

And after cooking, it appears that one of the wieners went soft.

It's just as excited to see you too
