For the coldest of cold storage, its sometimes necessary to stash a seed backup in the snowy backcountry. #bitcoin #backcountryskiing #mtsocks #canadianrockies https://image.nostr.build/8677b906549875eadf9df91935beed8d7954f0dc33f6fd1f21708655a823c067.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x1280&blurhash=rLKxxz_4%25i4T%25hozV%3FbcWA8%5E%25h%25NDhxvozV%3FkDWB%25MNFockDWAogV%40kCbI%25gM_V%40t8WAj%5DWBfkfmV%40s%3Bj%5DRjofj%5DaxWBflM_t7ozRiazogofV%40az&x=5dde5e5cacf1b7766bbd79cda4beb3496b05ee223b022f4af1029d3c36eff1ed

Its been quite a low-snow start to the winter season, but there are still many pretty views to see! #photography #CanadianRockies #sunrise https://image.nostr.build/fade765a1d1195c253c517d84bccc8c4798a211990f0c8a147c705c1e8cb438d.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x876&blurhash=ZTC%258Na%234%3BWC%250s-WCWCj%5B%7EqbcE3WCs%2CoeazayfPIqflxZaeWCWVoej%3Ff74%3Aj%5B-TayRlWXfPkBj%5B&x=dfe6d98d0fe77c3914a1b6340318eda64ea50def3f3805ffcdb07100a9be7683

Another new offering for Summer 2024. For those short on time looking to explore Cairn Pass along Jasper's South Boundary Trail, check out this helicopter assisted 4 day trip. Our adventure starts flying into Rocky Pass, just outside of the Jasper Park boundary, travels along the Medicine Tent River over Cairn Pass, and finishes with a helicopter-pickup near the lower Southesk River. Spectacular scenery, serene forest, and wildlife-viewing potential exist on this remote section of trail. As ever, we accept #bitcoin and #lightning for payment for all of our adventures. #StackSatsStackSteps #MyJasper #Backpacking #CanadianRockies #JasperBackcountry

Slipping and sliding around town yesterday morning still saw some special sights. Warmer temperatures and higher humidity than we often get around Jasper has made morning ice fog a not uncommon experience in the past couple weeks. #MyJasper #winterinjasper #photography #canadianrockies

Yesterday's ramble lead eastwards around the Celestine Lake Road capturing this image blending summer and winter. While in the summer this road can access North Boundary Trail, it's often a lonely place during the winter. #MyJasper #Photography #CanadianRockies

Back from a few days of early-season snowshoeing in the Cariboo Mountains. November is a great time of year to train for ski season and to brush up on avalanche rescue skills. If you have not done so already it is time to dust off your avalanche shovel and probe, and practice with your avi-transceiver. #Snowshoeing #Photography

Our lead guide, Ben Nearingburg, was featured here in an article discussing past and future use of the backcountry warden cabins across Jasper National Park; these storied structures hold many memories for visitors, wardens, and their families. #MyJasper #CanadianRockies https://cbc.ca/amp/1.7018074

The fresh snow yesterday in Jasper was perfect for making snowmen! Lakes have started to freeze, snow is covering campsites, and bears are settling down for a long winter's nap. Heres looking forward to a snowy winter and a great summer 2024 to come! #MyJasper #CanadianRockies #Photography

Timelapses are some of the best ways to take advantage of the dark skies in the Canadian Rockies, especially when the starry sky is combined with aurora! Here is a scene from a ski-traverse in Mount Robson Provincial Park. Stay tooned for more guided backpacking and photography offerings in Robson Park next summer!
