This was the first one. Just a small one that they normally open from the top but not this year due to instability, so up from the bottom it is. The boot track starts just above the two trees on the bottom left. 15 minute walk straight up for about 4 or 5 turns.
The next one took a bit more effort. A good 35 minute walk up on the left, all the way to the top. We rode down on the right.
A lot bigger when you are standing at the bottom of it.
Some cool snow sculptures shaped by the wind on the way up.
From the mid-way point. The chair lift is the flat groomed bit. A long way from where we started.
Some snowed in trees.
A view out the back.
On top.
Halfway down.
Kate on a fresh line.
Kate's line on the right, mine on the left. 2 chutes, 2 fresh lines. Well worth the hike. All on a 2 hour lunch break from work.
Polar peak from the bottom.For the next one I took Bella along with me.
Hard to make out but it is the upper part on the far ridge line. Hiking up a ridge line with a bowl on either side. One out of bounds the other in bounds.
This was a week earlier. It was closed then. Now it is open.
