    Hey i'm spending the Season living in Whistler,here is a bit of a trip report from a recent trip out into the backcountry north of Whistler in British Columbia.
    We spent 3 days staying at a Hut at elv. 1650m we ascended from 1200m where the highway lies.The Hut gives great access to high peaks upto 2800m with a few Glaciers in the mix.
