Backcountry skiers dream of carving turns in beautiful soft powder snow. We may have exceeded our dreams with 165 cms of new snow (over 5 feet) on our Blanket Glacier trip from March 18-25. Too much of a good thing!

Another Great Week At Blanket Glacier
Marie and the Blanket Glacier Chalet

OK! It looks like nobody else is going to write this trip report so this is my opportunity to tell some lies about the great group of people we had on this trip.
Blanket Glacier is a short 7 minutes helicopter ride from a little south of Revelstoke and it is renowned for its snow; in fact on average 25 meters of snow falls which translates into about a 9 meter base. We have been told if you get 1 or 2 days without snow falling you are lucky but, for the second year in a row, we have been fortunate with only 2 overcast days each week.
