We used Strava, local resources and fastestknowntime.com to research the fastest trail running and Backcountry Skiing times in the South Coast Mountains. There are a lot of crazy fast times and there are still lots missing. If you have a time to submit send us an e-mail and we'll add you to the list! Do you have a route idea that we don't have listed? Let us know!

Garibaldi Yellow Gate-Yellow Gate, Skyline Loop Train (Rainbow Mtn), Rainbow Mountain, Mt Rohr TH-TH, Mount Matier, Mt. Joffre, Ensakwatch, Rainbow Mountain Round Trip, Enchainment, Tricouni Standard Route or N Ridge, Owl Tenquille Traverse, Mt Steele Tetrahedron Provincial Park, Ashlu Elaho Divide Ski Traverse, Pemberton Icecap Ski Traverse, Misty Icefields Ski Traverse, Golden Ears Summit Round Trip, Coastal Quad West Coast, Juan de Fuca, North Coast and Nootka.
