We gained the ridge, and almost made it to the peak we were shooting for. However about 200 feet below the break in the cornice we were going to drop in from I post holed up to my hip. Never a good sign so we decided to back track slightly and drop in a little further below the cornice.
So close, but the sun had already warmed the snow to the point that it was to risky to drop in on the steeper aspect. That and there were old slides on the face we were planning to ski....
Another look from the south to the north, lots of options when the conditions are right....
A look back at the ridge we were on. We dropped in to the lookers left of the cornice, you can make out the old slide in the middle of the face below the high point, and the lookers right of the high point on the ridge.
A look back at the ridge we took to our destination, Great Views All Day!!!
W/Greys and Torries in the back ground...
Oh, so back to the double dip, after our turns, we headed back down into D-Town and spun the cruisers into the city for some Gelato! Now that's my idea of an awesome day!
