“We created this traverse in the hopes of experiencing something so immense, so incredible, so epic that it would change our lives forever.”
In January 2017, Tania and Martina Halik began their Coast Mountain Epic, a ski traverse of BC’s Coast Mountains. Their 5.5-month adventure took them through harsh icefields, across sweeping river valleys, into blizzards and whiteout storms, wading through frigid waters and ultimately, from Squamish, BC to Skagway, Alaska. Now, Martina recounts for MEC how “an old lady and her asthmatic daughter” (as she puts it) skied further than they ever had before.
