Suicide in there till this snow settles in but no one that I know of yet.

 

[j.c.higgins]

Hotrod rode out to Spirit with a group and reports snow is still good, about 18" of snow out at the lake and beyond. Nobody out that way!! Trails still excellent shape.

I think someone busted in there this weekend.

Might go back one day but have seen so many bad avy runs I have stayed out for about 5 years.
Runout between the lakes into the trees and over the cliff.
And 150 yards or more wide year after year.
So many other places with powder and you don't have to die.
Guess I am a chicken.

I’d call that wise. I rode in there once. Up the waterfall headed to the plateau. Looked around and said what the hell am I doing here? Turned around and left and I’m ok with never going back. Way too many good places to ride without having to look over your shoulder and be worried. Nice glacier view though.

No your smart, that’s sketchy terrain for sure. I have seen pics and vids but have never actually been in there myself. Same as tier, I mainly rode the dores back than.

Is Teir the area behind the old fire watch hut that you can see from town?

 

[j.c.higgins]

Nope, never heard of it!!!

 

[Merc63]

After reading the above Horsey creek comments, I started googling and looking at what all the fuse was about. Damn, I think that’s the craziest place I’ve seen yet. Those high slopes on the right you’d never see from down low and they must come flying down off that face with insane power.

I see you go up that creek which looks interesting it’s self, then into a climb/sidehill with that frozen waterfall on the left. Is that sidehill climb a waterfall as well? It looks like that all drains into the creek. Who’s the crazy MF that found this place or first broke into it? I assume people hike up there in the summer then thought to try the power sleigh in the winter?

 

[Caper11]

Isnt that around zippermouth creek??? Lol

 

[j.c.higgins]

Unfortunately a lot of the zippermouths are closed to us alpine riders now, in all areas! But there are still a couple around!!!

As soon as you get to top of creek hang a right and ride the upper deck bowls is ok.
Anything by the lakes is tossin the dice.
Tried to get on the glacier once up the chute past the bottom of creek in the valley side hilling but vis sucked so we got 3/4 up and backed out.
Climbing east Twin creek to the Alpine was always my favorite creek climb.
Now a caribou closure.

actually you follow zipyerlip creek as far as shutyertrap gap.

 

[Brian Kublik]

Yes,Tier is behind the firewatch hut that you see from town. A bit technical to get in there but nice area. Can go from the top all the way south to the Holmes river. As far as Horsey creek we started going there with Ron Baer from valemount in about 1986. The view from the top of the glacier is absolutely awesome. Haven't been in there for about 15 years. After taking avy courses,getting older,getting smarter(I hope) don't need to go there!!!

 

[maxwell]

ahh horsey creek. Was in there 10 years ago on my summit 600. One of my earlier trips to the mountains. knowing what i do now...i will never go back. i should be dead. we poked at the hills to the left all day long as soon as you break out into the alpine. the lakes in the back are neat but there is almost no where in that zone you can go safely without being in or passing through big avalanche terrain. like mentioned. cool to see once. No need to go back
