Backcountry skiing 2:00:00 [3] +850m
Morning outing with Brendan to MacPherson. Continuing the earlier season mission to ski a new line there every time if possible so went and skied the lookers left chutes beyond the fingers. Checking them out visually yesterday while nordic skiing they seemed to have good coverage. Turned out that you can pretty much ski the first chute from the ridge as the opening narrows but doesn't pinch off and actually widens near the top. We didn't quite make it that high as it required a couple committing switch backs. The pit we dig suggested the storm slab was stubborn to trigger but didn't want to push our luck given the possible long ride down. A good run down - the lower bit is actually quite spacious with lots of space for a bigger group. Worth a trip back I think.
