Cowboy Ridge March Powder Day

 

I'm writing this post at midnight in late May coming off 8 days of night shifts and thus my memory is a little foggy from these couple days but it is coming back to me now

This fellow is boot packing up the flute access road with both skis and a snowboard

The apostilles were in perfect condition  

Like my memory, foggy weather as you rode the chairlifts up high and skied the backside of Flute. I tried to stay high while enjoying the downhill and took a tumble on this relatively simple terrain from a wind drift that I didn't see

Morning at the hut and shoveling the stairs

Swapping the very heavy propane cans

Finding the buried helicopter landing zone flag in the snow

Discussing our route out of the hut and back down to singing pass

Tons of fresh pow

Approaching Melody Creek

I started punching in a skin track back up towards the hut but it was too time consuming with all this fresh powder and it was still a mission in itself to get back into the city by this afternoon/evening so I called it at a random spot and took my skin track back down

Cornice above the Oboe Basin. Doesn't always appear here like this in the zone.

Another tempting run down into Oboe Basin
