Located at 82deg North on Ellesmere Island within Quttinirpaaq National Park, it is the highest mountain in Nunavut and the Canadian Arctic.\nSummit Mountain Guides is planning to conduct a ski mountaineering ascent of Barbeau Peak during the first 2 weeks of June 2027.\nJoin us for an incredible adventure in one of the most remote parts of the world!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Itinerary\n \n \n \n \n \n The weather and conditions will have a significant effect on our exact itinerary. This 14day program begin and ends in Resolute, Nunavut. Getting to Resolute is your responsibility and can be expensive. Air miles or flying on points can help with this cost.\nFrom Resolute we will take a twin otter ski plane and fly 400 miles (yes miles!) North to Eureka. From Eureka, we will fly an additional 200 miles North and land on snow covered glacier 7km West of Barbeau Peak on Northern Ellesmere Island. After establishing basecamp near the landing strip, we will tackle Barbeau Peak on skis. The ascent can be done over a few days conditions and weather permitting.\nWe may have to stay in Eureka overnight the way to Barbeau peak from Resolute if the weather conditions are not optimal to access the mountain.\nIn the end, if we cannot land near Barbeau Peak, we may use an alternate designated airstrip nearby (Tanquary camp or Hazen camp). From there we would travel on skis while pulling sleds to access the Barbeau Peak basecamp.\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Prerequisites\n \n \n \n \n \n This is an intermediate to advanced ski mountaineering program. You must have previous overnight winter camping experience and be an advanced intermediate downhill skier. Previous high altitude mountaineering experience is an asset. Guests are responsible to self evaluate their skills as groups need to be matched together based on prior experience and ability. Experience with carrying a big overnight pack while pulling sleds is very useful.\nPrior experience with Summit Mountain Guides is not required however it is highly recommended. This helps you anticipate the difficulty and style of our programs. It also contributes to building a better relationship with the guide before heading out on a long remote trip. Please contact us to discuss your goals & background.\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Equipment\n \n \n \n \n \n Contact us\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n Barbeau Peak is a 2616m mountain in Qikiqtaaluk, Nunavut, Canada.

The temperatures can vary widely in the springtime. They usually range from –15C overnight to 0C during the day. At higher elevation, temperatures will be colder and could drop below -30C overnight.\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n What's Included\n \n \n \n \n \n What’s included\nPre-trip planning support\nFully certified IFMGA guide(s) services and costs for the guide\nSki plane access fees, return from Resolute\nWinter camping equipment (sleds, kitchen, and sleeping tents, stoves, fuel, cooking supplies)\nAll group breakfasts and dinners while on the glacier and trip, all hot drinks\nPark Permits and Liability Insurance\nGroup safety equipment (satellite phone, ropes, rescue kit, high altitude 1st aid kit, GPS, maps)\nAlternative plan based on current conditions\nNot included in price:\nGST 5%\nCamping and meals while on standby to depart flight, 4 to 5 nights\nLunch & snacks, etc.\nPersonal ski and technical equipment and expedition clothing\nPersonal winter camping equipment (sleeping bag, Thermarest)\nAir travel to/from Resolute\nAny additional costs related to itinerary changes, any extra fees incurred if beyond trip estimated dates\nTrip cancellation insurance (highly recommended, see booking page for ideas), adventure travel/rescue insurance, medical insurance\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n FAQ\n \n \n \n \n \n Alpine Ski-touring or Telemark gear? Which should you use?\nIf you are a downhill skier then you should use Alpine touring gear. Only if you are already an advanced Telemark skier should you use Telemark gear.\nSpring skiing the high alpine environment offers variable snow conditions. On one particular run, things may go from perfect powder to challenging breakable crust and or variable wind affected snow. When compounded, the variable snow conditions, the long ski touring days and the large overnight packs all call towards the use of easier skiing set up like alpine touring.\nMount Logan provide a fantastic mountain travel experience. The skis become a traveling medium in the greater goal of getting from A to B. Alpine touring makes for fast and efficient travel hence contributing to a safer and more successful experience.\nCan it be done on Snowshoes?\nAn ascent of Mount Logan can be done on snowshoes. For nonskiers with previous high altitude mountaineering experience, a snowshoe ascent may be advised. At SMG, we feel that the best way to ascend and descend Mount Logan is on skis. It is a mountain that leads itself to skiing much more than snowshoeing. For safety and efficiency reasons, we feel that everyone in a given group should be using the same mode of transportation and for our ski program, this is ski based. For use of snowshoes, please contact us for a custom trip.\nWe would certainly consider guiding a full group of snowshoers up Logan. We would need a minimum of 3 participants on snowshoes. Please contact us for more info on this topic.\nHow heavy are the packs or sleds?\nAn ascent of Barbeau Peak requires that you carry all your personal equipment up the mountain as you go. At times, you will even have to carry some of the group equipment. Participants need to have at least an 80 litters pack on this trip. Once fully loaded with your personal equipment and some of the group gear the pack could be as heavy as 30-40 pounds.\nSleds will be supplied by SMG. Once fully loaded, sleds can weight close to 40 pounds. Because the sleds have more capacity than backpacks, we typically try to load them heavier than the backpacks.\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n // Get all the accordion buttons\n var accordionButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.accordion .btn-link');\n\n // Add event listener to each accordion button\n accordionButtons.forEach(function(button) {\n \n console.log('accordion test');\n \n button.addEventListener('click', function() {\n // Get the target collapsible element\n var target = this.getAttribute('data-target');\n\n // Get the parent of the collapsible element\n var parent = this.getAttribute('data-parent');\n\n // Get all collapsible elements within the parent\n var collapsibleElements = document.querySelectorAll(parent + ' .collapse');\n\n // Toggle the visibility of each collapsible element\n collapsibleElements.forEach(function(element) {\n if (element.getAttribute('id') === target.substring(1)) {\n // Toggle the class to show or hide the collapsible element\n element.classList.toggle('show');\n } else {\n // Hide other collapsible elements\n element.classList.remove('show');\n }\n });\n });\n });\n \n // Get all the accordion buttons\n var accordionButtons = document.querySelectorAll('.accordion .btn-link');\n\n // Add event listener to each accordion button\n accordionButtons.forEach(function(button) {\n button.addEventListener('click', function() {\n // Toggle the chevron rotation\n var chevron = this.querySelector('.chevron');\n chevron.classList.toggle('rotate');\n });\n });\n\n\n\n\n\n/* Style the accordion container */\n.accordion {\n margin-bottom: 20px;\n margin-top: 50px;\n}\n\n/* Style the card */\n.card {\n/* border: 1px solid #dee2e6; */\n border-radius: 1px;\n margin-bottom: 10px;\n border-bottom: 1px solid var(--light-grey);\n}\n\n/* Style the card header */\n.card-header {\n background-color: transparent;\n/* border-bottom: 1px solid var(--grey); */\n}\n \n.accordion .card-header h5{\n font-weight: bold !important;\n color: var(--red) !important;\n}\n\n/* Style the card body */\n.card-body {\n padding: 15px;\n}\n\n/* Style the button inside the card header */\n.card-header .btn-link {\n color: var(--dark-red);\n text-decoration: none;\n background-color: transparent !important;\n}\n\n/* Style the button when hovered */\n.card-header .btn-link:hover {\n cursor: pointer;\n} \n\n/* Style the collapsed card */\n.collapse {\n display: none;\n}\n\n/* Style the expanded card */\n.collapse.show {\n display: block;\n}\n\n/* Style the chevron icon */\n .chevron {\n display: inline-block;\n width: 0;\n height: 0;\n border-top: 5px solid transparent;\n border-bottom: 5px solid transparent;\n border-left: 5px solid var(--dark-red);;\n margin-left: 5px;\n transition: transform 0.3s ease;\n margin-right: 8px;\n \n }\n\n /* Rotate the chevron icon when the collapse is shown */\n .collapse.show + .card-header .chevron {\n transform: rotate(90deg);\n }\n\n /* Rotate class for animation */\n .rotate {\n transform: rotate(90deg);\n }\n\n\n\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n/* Mobile-first styles */\n.event-gallery {\n margin: 0 auto;\n max-width: 100%;\n}\n\n.column {\n width: 100%;\n padding: 5px;\n min-height: 130px; /* Minimum height for gallery images */\n}\n \n #TB_caption {\n height: 56px !important;\n }\n\n.gallery-image {\n width: 100%;\n height: auto;\n object-fit: cover; /* Ensure images fill the frame while maintaining aspect ratio */\n min-height: 130px; /* Minimum height for gallery images */\n padding-bottom: 15px;\n}\n \n img.gallery-image {\n display: block;\n width: 100%;\n height: auto;\n transition: filter 0.3s ease; /* Add a smooth transition for the filter change */\n}\n\nimg.gallery-image:hover {\n filter: brightness(80%); /* Darken the image by reducing brightness */\n}\n\n/* Desktop styles */\n@media (min-width: 768px) {\n .row {\n display: flex;\n flex-wrap: wrap;\n margin: 0 -5px;\n justify-content: space-evenly;\n }\n\n .column {\n flex: 0 0 calc(33.33% - 10px); /* Adjust as needed */\n max-width: calc(33.33% - 10px); /* Adjust as needed */\n }\n}\n\n\n\n\n URL:https://summitmountainguides.com/events/barbeau-peak-canadian-arctic/ ORGANIZER;CN=David Lussier:MAILTO: CATEGORIES:Trips ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://summitmountainguides.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Parbeaupeakmain2025-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
