We’re at 6000′ and guessing that the clouds are at 7000′. We didn’t want to go too high and get caught in the wedge. Just beautiful.

I can see a calendar in our future! Even though it wasn’t clear and sunny, the clouds actually gave us a great contrast. Notice some small ice chunks off of the Glacier. The toe has […]

It didn’t matter which way you looked it was breathtaking.

Jamie gave us a superb briefing on the routes and things to look out for. Heading down the Torres Channel towards the Llewylly Glacier to see if the cloud layer will allow us to over […]

There’s lots of reflection in the picture, but I thought I would share it anyway.

We flew off to the north while we waited for traffic to clear. Atlin – CYSQ – is 2348, therefore circuit height is 3300′. There is one gravel runway 18-36.
