Toured around Newton Canyon Sunday in beautiful bluebird conditions. Having skied Newton via Pea Gravel way too many times we took a long scenic tour up to Lamberson Butte, not worth doing again due to the long hike but worth the views. This poised us for a ski run in the large chute off Lamberson, and we found easy boot passage thru the cliff band by touring around/above the summit of Lamberson. Pleasantly surprised with good powder despite the aspect. Finished our day on the pea gravel side where increasing winds were already filling in the heavily tracked out 1st bowl in newton. Fun day on the mountain, looking forward to more snow
