Banff backcountry ski touring.
The goal of this site is to help folks have fun, and keep track of, backcountry skiing around Fernie, BC. You won't find much commentary on avalanche stuff since I'm not a guide nor do I want to be. I'm just your average, non-rad skier with a GPS and a camera. It's entirely your own fault if you end up in trouble so use your own best judgement when out touring.
