Marshmallow R I C E Cracker sandwich
Marshmallow sandwiched in R I C E Crackers!
From: Olaf and Lars
Location: Mt. Jo – Adirondacks – Lake Placid
About the sandwich:
We really wanted to send you a sandwich pic so this one is kind of improvised with what we brought to the top (very light to carry) lots of finer and protein! Actually tasted pretty good after the steep climb.
Recommended as a desert sandwich.
“Straight Up”

From: Taylor Pfaff
Location: Ipsoot Mt. Pemberton, BC
About the sandwich:
Hot Genoa Salami, Dijon Turkey, Onions, and Mixed Greens on French Bread. No sauce. Just straight up. Best enjoyed near helicopters, overlooking Whistler Blackcomb, on top of some gnar, outside your snow cave, or moments after a pow slash.
Em’s corned beef mess
ham, corned beef, peppers, mixed leaves, cheese, tomato and special sauce, made with love and affection.
From: Greg Robinson
Location: Widdop, Yorkshire
About the sandwich:
One of my favourite lunch spots on the west side of the pennines in Yorkshire, created by my better half this sandwich included ham, corned beef, peppers, mixed leaves, cheese, tomato and special sauce, made with love and affection, I felt very peaceful eating this sandwich in such a beautiful location.
The Nor’Easter
seven-pepper hummus and sausage
Location: Dix mountain, Adirondacks
About the sandwich:
The Nor’easter – it may not be the most exciting, nor the most heavily dressed, but this pita sandwich packs a mean punch. It contains seven-pepper hummus and sausage, which produce the perfect mix of savoury and salty. Better couplings are seldom stumbled upon. This sandwich was eaten after ascending Dix moutnain on a gorgeous day in the Adirondack mountains. Simple but damn tasty.
Suggested variation: add gouda and/or jarlsberg cheese.
The “Rich-wich”
roasted chicken, pesto, and goat cheese, all happily stuffed inside a sesame focaccia
From: Rich So
Location: Thar Peak, Coquihalla Recreation Area
About the Sandwich:
My lunch on a backcountry ski trip to Thar Peak, which consisted of roasted chicken, pesto, and goat cheese, all happily stuffed inside a sesame focaccia.
The ‘Fuel Up’
Beef and Cheddar
Location: Rainbow Mountain – below N/E face
About the sandwich:
It was a Beef/Cheddar sandwich from the Alpine Cafe. We picked up said sandwich on the way to the heliport which saved me from a lunch consisting of only very low quality granola bars.
After skiing the lines shown the picture this sandwich was a god-send before a steep hike back up. It tasted mostly of bread, beef and a hint of cheddar which satisfied the true mountain man in me.
Recommendations for future patrons or sandwich enthusiasts would be to double the size of the sandwich or buy two. There may have been tomato on the sandwich…but I cant be sure.
This sandwich would also suit both gladed runs and south facing couloirs. This sandwich has not been domesticated and should not be consumed at home.
The “Roe Creek Attempt”
Name: Jeff Van Driel
Location: Roe Creek
Description: Okay – technically not a sandwich I know, but I don’t take sandwiches with me that often. Also, I’ve been feeling the pressure to make an entry. So here it is… Obviously feeling the need for early season turns, we headed up Roe creek into Cypress. A great choice, with good 4×4 access and LOTS of snow! This is all relative as it is still…EARLY SEASON! All the same, we found some great skiing. So the “sandwich” is just Triscuits and smoked salmon. Now the salmon is the prime ingredient as it is smoked by my dad in the smoker built and previously owned by my grandpa. This is the finest smoked salmon I have found, but I am a little biased. This was key energy as this was only the second day of the season and a boost was needed. I hope I don’t receive too much flak about my Alpine non-Sandwich!
The Cowboy Wrap
Tuna salad, BACON, Cheddar (extra sharp), Sun dried tomato and little bits of Red Onion in a Spinach Tortilla
Name: Daniel
Location: Cowboy Ridge, Whistler BC
About the Sandwich:
Sunny day ski touring in the Whistler Backcountry. Heading out to Cowboy Ridge. Tuna salad, BACON, Cheddar (extra sharp), Sun dried tomato and little bits of Red Onion in a Spinach Tortilla. A wrap is not a sandwich, apologies.
