We lucked out on a beautiful weather window this past weekend, and some amazing conditions to do the Spearhead traverse. Bethan and I started around 9 a.m. from Whistler village. We took the Excalibur gondola up to Blackcomb base and then all the way to the top.
Located just south of Whistler in the remote Callaghan Valley, and about a 40-minute drive from Squamish, the staging area for the lodge is easy to find. From there, it’s about a 13.6 cat track to the lodge that you can either access with sleds, a cat, or even a helicopter. I have been fortunate enough to get some filming opportunities in the valley for two film projects I have been working on, and they gave us a cat ride for the day.
This was a very intense, year-long project (even though the production part of it only took 2 months in total. Cris and I met in January of 2024, finished the idea by the end of the month, and started looking for funding in February. In March this year, I have accomplished one of my biggest goals so far, a snowboard BASE jump. The crew made it happen in less than 24 hours, organizing each other to capture the moment.

Rethel Mountain is one of the summits of the Wedgemount Lake area. We left the car around 3 am. The first part was cruisy, we took a wrong route right at the start (following the typical summer route to the parking lot), since we’d both been there but in the summer!
About a month ago, Protect Our Winters Canada @POW invited us to share how stoked we are for the upcoming season. As you may know, I’m one of those people who are incredibly excited but also super impatient when it comes to waiting for snow.
