Cheesin w/ Jalapeno’s up in my Grilled
Jalapeno cheese sourdough bread, layers of mozarella, vermont cheddar AND sharp cheddar add a big layer of sliced jalapeños, sliced tomatoes, a sprankling of sweet peppers and piled high with oven roasted turkey.
From: Jay Anderson
Location: Crystal Mountain, WA
About the sandwich:
Start with Jalapeño cheese sourdough bread (I could stop right there, the bread is so darn good), layers of mozzarella, vermont cheddar AND sharp cheddar add a big layer of sliced jalapenos (as if your hangover farts on the drive up weren’t bad enough…), sliced tomatoes, a sprankling of sweet peppers and piled high with oven roasted turkey. The key is to add some more cheese to the OUTSIDE of the bread when grilling so that it’s super crispy cheesy and delicious. Add some sweet potatoe fries to this badboy and you’ve got yourself one hell of an alpine sandwhich. This sandwhich pairs well with on hill jungle juice, spectacular viz and goggle tans.

About the sandwich:
The sandwich: elk and juniper salami, goat gouda, green peppers, hot Finnish mustard and butter on barley quinoa bread.
A hearty and enormously satisfying sandwich consumed while gazing across the Garibaldi Neve and Tabletop Mountain on a perfect bluebird day.
The view and the sandwich had me almost moved to tears. So good. It had been too long since I had last packed an alpine sandwich. No more salads. Back on the sandwiches.
The “Steep Creek Beeferino”
roast beef, caramelized onion, cheese
From: John Ganderton
Location: Steep Peak, Duffey Lake
About the sandwich:
An awesome roast beef, caramelized onion, cheese and I think a bit of lettuce all in some lovely whole wheat bread. To be honest it was a last minute buy from the grocery store on a day trip to the top of Steep Peak. Had some great sun all the way to the top, clouds rolled in for the ski but we had a great run down the north face and then skied chute 56 back to the truck, sweet day, amazing sandwich!

Mmmhh nothing beats a turkey and ham sandwich with avocado, mango salsa, cholula hot sauce, and green peppers topped off with a PBR while shredding Baker backcountry pow and receiving a Vitamin D overdose. Life is good
The “East-West”
Home made italian bread, hummus, green peppers, aged canadian cheddar, brochetta
From: David Berliner
Location: Mount Megantic, Quebec
About the sandwich:
Home made italian bread (3/4 inch slices); hummus; green peppers; aged canadian cheddar; brochetta. The name stems from the combo of hummus with the cheese/brochetta. (The thick bread is necessary to soak up any extra oil from the brochetta).
Winter camping at Park Megantic in Quebec. Woke up to a beautiful morning, put on the snowshoes, and made it to the peak of Mount Megantic (at 1200m, pretty good for east coast standards).
just as I snapped a shot, this bird swooped into the frame. which makes for a pretty funny photo. (the sandwich and bird were fine).

From: Olga L

About the sandwich:
There is an African proverb: “It takes a village to raise a child.”

I have many people to thanks for the ingredients that came together to create this delicious sandwich, including one who did so unwittingly. Ciabatta bread (thanks mom!), organic arugula, double smoked farmers’ cut bacon, tomato (thanks Ryan!), and lemonaise (thanks mystery roommate!). Superb texture and taste.
The “Salami Triangle”
Wholegrain triangular bun, hot salami, hummus, Emmental and salad.
About the sandwich:
Wholegrain triangular bun, hot salami, hummus, Emmental and salad. Finished it off whilst enjoying a stunning ski tour up the Illecillewaet Valley. Meditated on the similarities between my sandwich and the majestic Mt Sir Donald.
Costco end of the loaf on Matier
From: Noah Bloom
Location: Matier Glacier, Duffey Lake Road, BC
About the sandwich:
When you get to Upper Joffre lake, it’s about time for sandwich #1. The end slice of the bread loaf makes for a lucky day. The Costco aged cheddar, rosemary ham, dijon, and crunchy lettuce make for a simple but inspiring alpine sandwich. We went on to summit Mt Taylor on a sunny and blissfully calm day, and then shred down 3700′ vertical in just a few minutes. Sweet ski.
The “Vantage Ridge Roast Beef”
From: Noah Bloom
Location: Mt Matier, Duffey Lake Road, BC
About the sandwich:
It was already the second Mount Currie Coffee Co sandwich of the day, after an early breakfast burrito throw-down in Pemberton. We took a break at treeline on our skin up to Vantage Ridge for an early lunch, something I’m never opposed to, under views of Mt Matier and Joffre. It must have been magic, but the snow higher up turned to smoke, as we hooted pow laps on Cheque’s in the Mail the rest of the day:

About the sandwich:
With the recent bluebird days in BC, climbed Blackcomb Peak with the amigos to eat a delicious Roast Beef, bell pepper, avocado, lettuce, and cholula on sourdough sandwich before descending to shred Disease Ridge. Nothing beats a delicious sandwich on a mountaintop!
