Winter Wilderness

A pristine sunshine week for high-altitude backcountry snowshoeing and ski touring after a spectacular 80-centimetre dry-powder dump in the Pacific coastal mountains of southern British Columbia. Noritsu Kiki digital film scan.

 

This is Callaghan Country (1370 m, 4459 ft), a spectacular upper-mountain valley and wilderness terrain with old-growth forests, lush alpine meadows and pristine lakes - surrounded by huge snowfields, stunning glaciers, majestic peaks and the omnipresent Powder Mountain Massif overhead.

 

The small glacier-fed stream below leads to pristine Conflict Lake in the Upper Callaghan Basin. Classic coast mountain country.
