Since we were not in a hurry, we took a few days to drive to Revelstoke from Whistler. The first stop was at Joffre Lakes. This is a great backcounty access point for future reference. Our halfway stop was in Vernon, where we camped and hiked about 6km (roundtrip) to Kalamalka Lake. Then we spent two days backcountry skiing near Sicamous before making it to Revelstoke. Sicamous is actually the houseboat capitol of Canada. We are loving the huge rivers and lakes we have seen so far, luckily they are not busy this time of year.
We backcountry skied off of Lyberger Road. There was a Catskiing operation building a lodge. They plowed the road the whole way to the construction site and near the top there was a public parking lot. We were able to ski the trees and some snow filled glades! There are not any photos from this since it was snowing most of the time!
