Shudder and Tremor Glaciers

I've been wanting to check out these glaciers for a couple of years, if you consider the Spearhead remote, then these would probably be the 'remotest' in the range. If not, well its just a really cool place to check out and guess what; you get to ski some of the longest runs in the area if you so choose..
The route leaves E Col, over the N shoulder of Mt. Decker, down and across the Trorey Glacier and a quick bootpack pops you onto the Tremor, with the Shudder a short ski away as well.
On the Pattison bootpack.

Happy powder skiers!
Post powder smile!

The Shudder keeps on going!

Back up to the 'home run" on the Tremor Glacier. We followed that out to Decker creek where a 500m climb takes you to Decker Col, 7th heaven and later, your car.

I ran an app this day to show elevation gain, etc. The calorie consumption is off because the app thought we were cross country skiing, there is no field for 'Ski Touring"
