I could offer sugesstions in the Coast mountains, but the Rockies I'm not so sure about. Sorry, I'm no help at all, am I?

Heh... either they're all crowded or they don't want the Yanks to know about their secret spots so they stay uncrowded. I guess it's not even the crowds I mind, as long as they're climbers. I just think the big busses driving around the glacier kind of hurt the mountaineering ambiance. Maybe I'll just do the crevasse rescue training here in Colorado at the Pagosa Springs ice caves and put the time in Canada to better use.

Your time would be wisely used anywhere between Squamish and Pemberton. There's plenty of glaciers, and goregeous alpine areas, but from what I understand the approach to all of these places is pretty insane compared to what you'd encounter just about anywhere else. It's all I know, so I've got nothing to compare it to, that's just what I hear. Helm glacier in Garabaldi Park is an ideal glacier for someone's first try. It's also one of the fastest receeding glaciers in the world, so get it while you can, it won't last much longer. Anyhoo......if you decide to skip the rockies (bloody tourist wasteland) you'll be utterly amazed with what you'll find over here on the coast. If you can think of it, you'll find it here. Good luck!
