Pat, Danielle and I had planned to head up to the southern Chilcotins and ski a peak about which Pat has obsessed - Dickson. To sum it up, the forecast initially looked good but the weather gods conspired against use and our plans to ski off Dickson Peak's east face were dashed by rapidly deteriorating weather. Regardless of this non-summit, we managed to check out a great area, and we scouted some other alarmingly large peaks and managed to see some new terrain.

It's always enjoyable to read about adventures that don't go as planned. The reality of spending time in the mountains. The terrain looked interesting. The bears photo is wonderful.
So, how's the sprained MCL after the "roof descent" ?
Jill's having surgery on her miniscus on June 4th. She'll be recovered and ready to "break trail" for our upcoming trip to Argentina and Chile.

Zap - your skis are wonderful. thanks!
when are you going to Argentina and Chile - I hope you provide pictures and some guides as I am planning that for next year.
The sprain was very minimal and I should be OK for mild climbing and biking by end of week
