We were able to drive all the way to the trailhead on Saturday, leaving the car around 11:30 AM. Had to hike 1 - 2 miles before putting on the skis. Skinned up to the Sulphide Glacier and set up camp around 5:30 PM. It was a cold but windless night.
Got a bit of a later start Sunday morning than we had hoped for. Skinned up to the base of the Summit Pyramid and decided to forgo the summit and enjoy the ski down while the views were stellar and the snow was soft. Skied from camp to car in about 2.5 hrs.

Nice going Joe. Looks like you had the place to yourselves. The first summit photo looks daunting but alluring the same. Nice work you two!
That first photo is amazing.
