2017 Purcell Traverse: 280 Kilometers On Foot In 24 Days
When VIMFF joined forces with Mountain Equipment Co-op to launch an Adventure Grant, the goal was to find local teams with exploratory and human powered objectives in adventurous arenas that were unique and ambitious in nature. It was clear that Shawn Emmette's and Steve Tersmette's goals were the epitome of adventurous: travel nearly 280 km on foot by roughly combining the Southern Purcell Traverse and the Bugaboos to Rogers Pass traverse, two of the grand ski traverses in Western Canada.
