Sleeping in a Snow Cave and summiting Mt Jimmy Jimmy
SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/lifeofluke
In spring the snow is deep in the mountains, a perfect time to dig a snow cave in the sub-alpine, and sleep in it! A properly built snow cave can actually be pretty comfortable, and warmer than above the snow where it is windy. This area is north of Squamish and the next day to have some fun turns on the splitboard, my dog and I go up and summit Mt Jimmy Jimmy.
Thanks for watching!

Good Morning Luke! What a lovely surprise to have you to watch while I sip my coffee. I am not able to get out there myself & I appreciate you so much for taking me along with you. Such a pain in the ASS to film & edit & all of that.

With the right gear and planning, the cold isn't so bad, I bet you could do it sometime!

Thanks Patrick! I hope to visit Colorado this spring for some packrafting.
Nice job! That is a ton of work in a short time! Digging a snow cave is no joke.
I tried to get drone footage of the peak and giant glacier, but it was so cold up there that my drone battery died immediately -- so I carried my drone and controller the entire way up and down this mountain to get zero footage with it.
Beautiful scenery as always.
great video, love it!! it looks easy from the beginning to the end, but I am sure it's not 😅 hope to see a new hotel "dans la neige" video soon. take care
Hello from Los Angeles. What a beautiful morning indeed.
Wow that looks like a hella fun adventure. Should call it Mount Nina Nina now. Coco was passed out on the sofa but his eyes lit up when he heard her barking and watched the rest of the episode with us! Cheers 🎉

What an awesome adventure! Making me miss BC again! Do you ever use bread bags in your boots to keep them dry? Staying hydrated in the winter can be a challenge - I did an 89 km fat bike challenge ride on snowmobile trails this year, and at -23C my water bottles on my hydration vest froze solid. The only thing that didn't freeze was the water inside my pack next to my back. Next time I'll use the internal bladder and the drinking tube.
I used to teach ski mountaineering at a private school here in Canada. I have some 30 days sleeping in snow caves.

@@blueman5924 No, Strathcona-Tweedsmuir. I left in 2000, in 2005 seven students died in an avalanche in the Rodger’s Pass. They fired the head master, the head of outdoor education and the teacher who led the group. After that the program was pretty much shut down.

Beauty ! 👏 Does Nina ever need sun protection googles like Rocko wears ? All breeds are different I guess. 🇨🇦🤙

She could, we just haven't tried any yet. I don't think they're necessary, but everyone loves them for the photos of their dog.
What does nina carry in the pouch? txs

She carries her food.
Would it be insufferable if I said "First!"?. Anyway, I'm coming up to British Columbia later this year to spy the beautiful backcountry and I get more and more excited for it every time i see your videos.
