La Nina: I love what she's done in SWBC: fast touring conditions, excellent shallow powder, superb stability.  Naomi seems to be getting the hang of this ski touring stuff. 






That's a sweet feature -- a perfect little skinning spine.
That's just how we roll up here, Marcus.  The mountains have been optimized to put a skin track up one side, then schralp steep powder on the other, then repeat the process ad nauseam.  I <3 the Coast Mountains.
Those clever Canadians think of everything.
Beautiful photos and sweet terrain!  Thanks for sharing the stoke, that couloir is spectacular!!  8)



Tremor: North Face and Hourglass Couloir, plus Northwest Face of Pattison
You're quite a colorful character, Sky:


New pants, new hat, new puffy, new pack, . . . stylin'!
Long live the mountain peacock!
The report has some excellent elements:
* A strong adventurous female skiing partner who also takes great photos
* Nice powder terrain
* Aesthetic ascent/descent routes
* A new touring friend from Argentina to visit in the other season
* Your hat and boots match
;)
The puffy is a year old, Amar.  But you didn't mention my new boots or sunglasses.  Spending too much, dunno my ROI, but to be fair it feels like I'm living like a king.  Je me sens comme un ROI chez moi.  (That means I feel like a king at home, just so I don't alienate anybody.)

Long live the HannaH!  Hope you're enjoying the San Juans.

Thanks for noticing all the elements, Zap.  Life is good.
Pretty awesome stuff. That's a lot of radness. You're maximizing your ROI out there with sun and snow like that~!
Nice to see you change from hater to a lover Sky.  Sweet trip- glad you got it. You too NAOMI!!
pure sweetness
Wow. Great lines! Great pants!
