Haven’t been able to get to any mountains lately, but I wish I could, and I’m a big fan of this site, and Turkey on Rye, so I doodled this pleasant mountain sandwich moment instead.

From: Lisa
Location:
Guard/Deception Col, Squamish BC

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!

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).

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.

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:

Homemade asiago cheese bread with ham and fresh Pemberton valley spring greens mix between swiss cheese slices

From: Breanne

Location: Mount Ronayne

About the sandwich:
Homemade asiago cheese bread with ham and fresh Pemberton valley spring greens mix between swiss cheese slices. The swiss cheese makes a perfect boundary between bread and greens to prevent soggy bread syndrome (SBS). Enjoyed beneath the still snow covered summit of Mount Ronayne after a dip in Tenas creek.

The Rohr Hike

From: Nick Ryall

Location: Mt. Rhor

About the sandwich:
This sanny is on a french baguette smeared with butter surrounding a perfect home grown tomato, thickly sliced cucumber, extra fort armstrong cheddar cheese and aged black forrest ham which was prepared on site. This sandwich made the hike worth it. We were surrounded by Cayoosh glacier, Mt. Rhor and Marriot Mt. It made the rest of the crew and you jealous…

The “Guides Opinion”

Finally I’m a Canadian Ski Guide! Having completed the ten day CSGA course and exam I felt comfortable naming this sandwich the ‘Guides Opinion’. Lets face it, some people know what they are doing in the mountains, some people know how to make a good sandwich…but only a rare few can do both properly. We had an incredible course with days of rope rescue, avalanche rescue, backcountry travel and even a Heli ski day in the Spearhead.

Lime & Herb Chicken Breast, Swiss, Bacon, Avocado, Baby Spinach, Mayo, Dijon. Boom Boom Boom.
