New Sea to Sky Backcountry Map
Backcountry enthusiasts rejoice! If you've been dreaming of a Sea to Sky backcountry map, dream no longer. This high-quality, waterproof, tearproof map is now available in the Backcountry Skiing Canada store. "A 31” x 21” topographic map superimposed on high resolution satellite imagery covering the Stawamus Chief and Shannon Creek Basin (Sky Pilot area). The map includes both summer and winter route lines with a focus on safe and respectful use and is appropriate for all seasons. Authors Evan Stevens (IFMGA) and Eric Carter (PhD) are a guide and professional athlete who have spent a significant amount of their lives exploring the area and want to share their experience to help others have more fun and stay safe. The map is printed on waterproof and tearproof paper."
Despite the easy access via the Sea to Sky Gondola being temporarily out of service (Again? Really?), the area can still be accessed with only a little more effort. Be sure to check it out!
