See y'all up there at noon!
*Elwyn's Cirque.... go into Glacier Bowl Cirque but instead of following everyone else down the ramp, hang a left and go straight towards the middle or maybe bottom of the East Face. Elwyn's Pillow or Powderbank is the left traverse that takes you to the bottom section of east face.
Powder11, great skiing with you as well. I found a few new lines, great fun.
We mostly lapped Robertsons and Harveys yesterday, fantastic snow. Most of the shots were done in that area.
We did one lap up Flute, untracked coming down one of the chutes, then an Excitation, ending with a not quite Khybers run down to Creekside.
And another in the pillow drop sequence.

You guys can thank me for making sure that the good snow went your way this week instead of towards Jackson!
Some of those pics look like the Lee Cohen Alta pics. Snorkel much?
Thanks all for posting those pics.
I was supposed to be out there with the MtnMan group but sadly had to cancel due to a knee injury and surgery this past Tuesday. :cussing:
As hard as the photos are to see, they sure are awesome. Glad you all got dumped on and glad the Snow Gods were good to you! :)

We're back in Calgary now. What a great trip! Met and skied with so many awesome Maggots. Spdfrk, Droopy, Brklyntrayc (our Summit ski goddess), Pow11, Mtnman, Skieast, Up and Down, Dodger, Rollgybe & Reed, Pulver, etc.
Special props to Leelau and his wife Sharon. After skiing with us during the day, Lee went home and worked into the evenings while us Maggots hit the bars and restaurants. Dedication above and beyond the call. Thanks Lee. :yourock:
BTW, anyone who wants one of the photos I took of them in this thread should PM me with an email address. I can send you an image large enough to make prints. (Up to 8x10 or 11x14, depending on whether I cropped the original photo.)
yes, all east coasters rip in pow, we train in tight icy trees, give us deep snow and open terrain, we rip it up!
Nice pics anywho
Back in Montreal, great trip, new friends, new places to ski, thanks to all.
Lee and Sharon and Toby, thanks for the guiding, come to Tremblant sometime and I'll show you my favourite ice bumps. On second thought, I'll just keep coming out to your neck of the woods.
skieast.
Glad you made it down the waterfall alive, Dodger :)
great pics
East Coast reprezentin'! Wherever Shmerham goes he finds the pow ...Quote:

Never skiied so fast for such a sustained time as when skiing with maggots.

C'mon, where's the photos from today, people? (impatient? who, me? :D )
Thanks for a fun day out today, everyone. It was awesome to meet some of the mags.
Rob
whew, got home from the summit and I'm tired and it was awesome! Just great skiing and hanging with everyone. I headed up on Thursday and spent three great days scarfing the pow that the storm brought us.
Skied Fresh Tracks with pow 11 then hit Peak which opened up after being closed Weds. Waterfall was going off pretty large.

Saturday I hooked up with Squirrel, Arty50, Bomber, and new mag Yassi(boardname?). Too bad we were missing Bomber's husband Brian (rehabit). He's recovering from knee surgery and went slednecking instead. For us, Blackcomb was the ticket with a hike into Corona on the agenda. Definitely rates as one of my coolest runs and best ski experiences ever. I was in awe how gorgeous it was. Thanks for leading squirrel, you know yer the man right! :yourock:
As we reached the top, the view into the backcountry was spectacular
