When I was invited on an expedition to Mt Logan with the late Trevor Peterson, the late Steve Smarige, and Eric Pehota it was “trip of a lifetime” I felt like I had established myself as a ski mountaineer who was ready for the world. The trip was an eye opener in the sense of seeing how truly large the St Elias mountains really are. Of course looking back on the trip after 23 years I can see that my experience had just begun.
From Whistler a thirty or so hour drive brought us to Kluane Lake in the Yukon. On the dusty airstrip we packed our food and equipment for the flight to base camp.
