December 11th Blackcomb slackcountry. No-one seemed to be too interested in beating us over to the old standbys so we got freshies

It was good enough we went right back again to the Duffey. One drainage over

Thumbs up
Sick.
Good stuff!
I vote that you keep feeding this thread...
Ending off the December we hit up more Duffey and Blackcomb pow
A high pressure came in and we skied SW slopes off the N Cayoosh Creek drainage on December 28th. Rare to get these in champagne pow

The high pressure was still on for December 30th. We headed to Phalanx to avoid crowds and were successful. Toby straighlines the man line past Don’t Swill

The high pressure gave way to a mild inversion so we headed off to the Duffey again for pure N faces. First we found 3cm facets growing in the cold valley floor
