Horstman Glacier, Glacier in Garibaldi Provincial Park, Canada

Located on Blackcomb Peak, this glacier extends across the mountainside at coordinates 50°5'41"N and 122°52'58"W in British Columbia.

The Horstman T-bar ski lift operated from 1987 until 2020, when glacier retreat conditions forced its permanent closure due to environmental changes.

Summer glacier camps at Whistler Blackcomb provide specialized training grounds for freestyle skiing and racing athletes throughout the warm season.

A blue wooden snow fence installed on the ridge above the glacier works with snowmaking machines to maintain snow coverage during winter months.

The hydroelectric dam constructed in 2010 generates 7.5 megawatts of power for the ski resort operations and snow production systems.

Location: British Columbia

GPS coordinates: 50.09470,-122.88290
