Chris and I headed out early to get some of what might be the last pow of the season. We found it on Matier
Climbing up through the cloud layer
Up to Matier
Then downclimb to the NW face saddle
Then we skied two laps in pretty good snow

... in pretty good snow
I'd say that looks like an understatement given it's May! Nice work!
Oh boy, that is WAY different than when I skied it in September! Doesn't look scary at all. Shoot, I really need to get up there when there is actually a fat snowpack. Joffre looks so good. Dang.
Whoa, that's beautiful with a nice dust tail in the 5th photo! What's the mountain in the background with the nice couloirs?
Dave - that's Joffre Peak and Aussie Couloir. I posted a TR about that here.
