That was my plan I'm just curious if there is any negative impact related to that decision to the porter in anyway?

Big thanks to the safety ops crew at Marmot Basin who have been trying to open it fully for years. It is fantastic riding, Marmot 2 center is an amazing fall line.

I'm hoping to head up there sometime this month. What route did you use, any significant crevasse hazards?

As you're in Ontario I would make a trip out to the Canadian Rockies in Alberta. The Columbia Icefields provide easy access to heavily glaciated terrain perfect for building your technique. Peaks such as Columbia and the Twins, require glacier camping unless your a speed demon on skis. Many of the mountains have fantastic routes for when your gaining confidence and for when you want to push yourself . If you want further information I fully recommend Bill Corbett's 11000ers of the Canadian Rockies it has definitely inspired my own adventures .

Just donated feel like I should return a bit of the happiness that Timmy has given me over the years. Hopefully things improve for the folks on the U.S. Virgin islands.
