Backcountry skiing 2:30:00 [3] +800m
Backcountry skiing at the Gorge. Conditions didn't look to promising on the way up. Warm temperatures (felt like spring today) have moistened the snowpack and created heavier, wet snow with a tempurature crust on top. Thought it might be ankle-breaker conditions but after summiting we found our way down through an area that hadn't been skied and actually had decent turns. Made it a short day as people needed to be back in town which is probably for the best as I am fighting a cough and am close to losing my voice.
