Oboe Creek to Russet Creek and Adit Creek

 

Day 1 

Oboe Basin to Singing Pass along Oboe Creek 

February 2025

GPX

Between Oboe basin the creek

Oboe Creek

Some open water but it skied well. The bottom lead to a steeper canyon feature on both sides but if you stay high and skiers right at about 1500m you will avoid the worst of it. I was able to keep skins off the whole time.

Tracks on the backside of Flute. I think this is the run called Flute Cruiser

Day 2

This was a fun loop from the hut to Russet Ridge then dropping down the Adit Creek / Russet Creek junction and skinning back up to Adit Creek and down Cowboy Ridge to Singing Pass

Singing Pass trail was in medium condition. It skied fast but was not as bad as a bob sled track. There had been signs of use before me and all the minor creek crossings were filled in. Definately the fast way down but always a little sketchy at times

Back on the shuttle bus at the end of a great 24+ hours !
