Backcountry skiing (Roamr) 2:30:00 [1] 9.0 km (16:40 / km) +810m 11:30 / km
Easy day out with Lia and Zale (work colleagues) at the Gorge. Snow conditions were holding up despite the inversion. Alpine was pretty wind affected (as was solar) but below treeline was fine (though settled). Climbed all the way to the North Queest summit via a new uptrack for me - route didn't feel too exposed - perhaps just the last 50m. Checked out a line I'd been eyeing up and it went. Not the best snow and could use a little more to fill in some holes. It looked like there are at least two narrow ramps skier's right of where we dropped through the cliffband. The slight gully also goes. Second descent was better skiing as no wind affect. Added a short climb at the end which lined us up well for a track free descent to the truck just to the left of the usual tracks.
