Our North American tour is officially underway with our first stops in the US this week.
I’m very proud of this lineup of the band – we rocked it in Indianapolis last night, and head to Newport, KY tonight The Southgate House Revival. Thanks to our pals in Broken Social Scene for the shout-outs and post show hangs, and big props to Amanda Lyn Parker who is killing it on front of house sound.

Tour dates are below and at www.greatlakeswimmers.com/shows

And the first group is off the mountain again.
Canadian Ice Core scientists finished their second time on Mount Logan.
We were the proud support team in transporting them.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 ...
May 1st and May 6th saw me up at 3am to shuttle two groups to Silver City at frozen Kluane Lake.
At 7:30am they were scheduled to fly into Mount Logan to proceed with their Ice Core research they had started last year.
Thank You, Universita of Alberta/Edmonton to trust us again with the transportation logistics of your famous scientist/climber Alison Criscitiello and her crews.

After an adventurous tour to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, yesterday, over slippery and unplowed roads, we wish all people a Happy New Year.

Once a month I try to get out to my cabin at Kluane, savouring glorious sunrises, wintery walks, relaxing time inside and always on the lookout for something new, like the "Kluane Nessie" I found this time.
Kluane never disappoints ... See for yourself.

If you want to re-connect with nature

- in its grand scale of snowcapped St. ELisa Mountains, in its enrapturing level of a silvery morning sun on frosted bushes or in its micro-level of diamond-like water droplets on fall leaves, -

then come and enjoy a weekend in our wilderness cabin at Kluane https://www.wildernessyukon.com/cabin-rental-2/kluane-cabin/.

I feel that we have more spring crocuses than any year before.

21/05/2021

Due to slow business in the pandemic years, we downsized our vehicle fleet ... a bit.

06/05/2021

First clients after a long winter: After their 14 days of successfully quarantining these Ice Core Scientists from the University of Alberta are going up to Logan area.

18/04/2021

Yes, spring is in the air. Geese and ducks are back and the bears are out.

16/04/2021

And then, all of a sudden, spring came. Sunbathing and un-covering my "tipee-d" apple trees.
