Let's Ski Mount Robson.
July 1997 photo ganked from here:
Climbing Resplendent Mountain
Lefty: Why wait?
Let's go climb it ASAP - worst case we'll have a grand adventure. From what I gather, weather is the real bitch about Robson. The forecast looks bomber for Wednesday/Thursday. Leave Tuesday night? Dan, Hummel, ANYBODY???

If it's icy, we can try it again in September/October if another window comes after some early season snow.
Bueller, anyone?

Have you seen the movie about climbing and skiing Robson (produced by Peter Chranowski, I think)? It is pretty good, the section where Jacques Thibault and Peter Chranowski attempt to ski the mountain via helicopter is truly hilarious. At the bottom, Thubault predicts it will be a “butter run”.
I'd love to see that movie.
MT ROBSON, THE NORTH FACE, is available here, http://www.explorex.net/page14.htm, on VHS… I think.
Oh man, I need to get that movie.
BTW, I can't take anytime off now Sky, not for a few weeks. Let's watch that movie though.
All right, Fatboy:
You order the movie; I'll take a little trip to the Canadian Rockies. Hopefully we can watch it together right after I show you my pictures of the North Face....
Ha. Ha. Sounds good. Don't forget your santa claus pants! You'd be hosed then.
Well?
