After two good days at RMR we were off to Rogers Pass. The slow solitary march with friends is more my style then the hustle and bustle of the lift line shuffle. With limited openings in the Pass we headed to McGill permit area an area that I have never explored. The sun and the views were a welcome sight. Silky pow turns for all.
Our day in McGill ended and with the information collected during out snow assessment we knew that we would be playing it on the safer side for our last day. The two layers responsible for the avalanche advisory were clearly visible but proved very difficult to trigger. We were spooked however on the consequences of 100cm thick slab breaking loose.
We still had great skiing dispite being a little more cautious than normal.

I think this is probably the last trip I get to do in Rogers Pass this year. A heavy work schedule and a wife who wants to see her husband more might mean more local trips.
