Exploratory: Billygoat Creek, BC first known descent

 

    Off the backside of Whistler Ski area, an alpine traverse leads to the headwaters of a (to us) creek with no known descent record: Billygoat Creek. In the summer of 2023, the Ducky Buddies rode up a gondola and rode down a rowdy, wood infested but scenic steep creek in the BC coast range.

    The adjacent Lillooet river trib, Tuwasus Creek, saw its first descent by a team of kayakers in the previous year.
