Snow Camping - Extreme version

A friend of mine, Jason Kuo, loaned me much of the equipment I used when snow camping last week including the tent, sleep bag and many other things. He is major outdoor enthusiast and limber so he had real high-quality gear.

He just got back from a trip to British Columbia where he did some hard core back country camping, hiking and climbing and he sent pictures. I thought they were so cool in light of the trip I just went on that I would post the link.

Here is his note about the trip:

"Hey Y'all,

I'm in Vancouver now. Just got back from a three day ski and climbing trip with my buddy Aaron. We're in the backcountry mountains behind Whistler.

• Day 1 - Travel to the backcountry via the Blackcomb ski lift and a 6 mile up and down high mountain ski traverse.
• Day 2 - Climb Mt. Patterson via short, scratchy mixed route and snow scramble. Bit of skiing too.
• Day 3 - Dig ourselves out of an intense, short storm and head home. Skies cleared for the final shot.

Happy times!"

Enjoy!
