Gunners #1

Gunners #1 is one of the artillery-controlled avalanche paths above the Trans-Canada Highway in Rogers Pass, within Glacier National Park, British Columbia. The line drops through steep subalpine terrain into mature forest, with a tight upper constriction that often skis rougher and more technical than neighbouring Gunners #2 before it opens into lower-angle trees.

From the highway corridor or nearby parking, skin up through dense forest following the fall line toward the obvious gully feature, taking care to stay out of the main path during active storm or warm-up cycles. The upper start zone sits in open, wind-affected terrain where slabs can build quickly; manage overhead hazard carefully here before committing to the choke, then work into the more forgiving lower trees once past the narrow section.
