Anna on top of Snowspider Mountain, Her first Summit

Snowspider Mountain 2494 m
Located at the triple headwaters of Twin One, Van Horlick, and Twin Two Creeks.
Snowspider has two summits, located about 50 m apart. The the northeast summit is a few meters higher than the southwest summit. Between the two summits lies a gap with 20-m high, vertical walls on both sides. Each wall has a weakness that reduces the difficulty of a traverse between the two pinnacles to a few moves of Class 4.

The mountain has three ridges: the Northeast, Northwest and South. The southeast face of the mountain is an impressive 150-m high vertical wall. A small pocket glacier is squeezed in between the upper northwest and northeast ridges.

Always a treat in summer, this area offers an equally delightful wintertime experience. The pristine meadows filled with meandering streams, lakes and wild flowers in the summer are transformed into a winter wonderland when the snow starts falling.
A ski trip in to the Wendy Thompson Hut is a long trip, . The hardest part is turning around and going home, so plan on spending the night in the well-appointed, comfortable hut. (The hut was built and is maintained by the Alpine Club of Canada Whistler Branch.
