^nice! We spent a week there in mid feb this year. Absolute bulletproof conditions. Not even edge pen! Lots of sun and peak bagging though. Looking forward to going back in better conditions. The hut is pimp and the ski terrain is world class.
Hey, If anyone is looking for a pass to Revy, I have one day pass I'm not going to be able to use... six pack?
Good ol' April - powder in the afternoon, biking in the evening, and all the ski bums are gone.
Yup! I've been dual sporting all week! Triple sported one day. Can't say I dislike this time of a year. Off to Calgary for 6 weeks , yay.Quote:

Kuba's is the wide chute left of the peak where the ridge levels out, to the left of the top of the larch, mostly in shadow,.

oh yeah also first time bootpacking with skis. Got too crusty to skin. Took a bit of bitching before I got going. Not my favourite part.

Pretty amazing weekend up at mona pow. ended up wtih about 40-45cm of great snow by Sunday. Good way to end the year!
Edit. couple of pics from mona pow weekend
One more weekend up high. Looks like a foot of fresh on the Gnorm cam! April delivers again!!!
Great skiing last weekend. Snow was good down to about 1500m until 3pmish on Saturday. Glad to go out on a good note after a trying winter. My sled skis need to replaced after all the snow melted out on the last 5km but it was worth it for sure. Managed to get in over 10,000ft of vert and lots of fun on sleds and skis.
Just back from 5 days ski touring in the Goat Range. Boot deep exceptionally stable powder on everything but the wind fucked high North aspects.
So was it like time travelling back to 2015? :)
