Innate Photo Comp: The sickest line you've ever skied

    90 km, 8 days, from the Garibaldi Neve in the south, to the Fitzsimmons Range in the north, crossing over a dozen glaciers, dropping into four passes, watching avalanches sweep the route, passing goat tracks across a high glacier, the McBride Traverse is the sickest line I've ever skied.
