Spent the day on the Duffey trying to find winter.

We found some snow and some sun. We had to use some mechanical means to get there but it was totally worth it once we did.



Some tricky layers up there and the new storm snow wasn't bonded well. We played some mini golf on some small slopes.




Got some decent turns I think



Just requires a little more effort this early season but as we are seeing the rewards are there!

A little video and some more detailed observations here


Good on you! As long as there are observations to be made - to the mountains we must go! (By whatever means)

nice.. I am on the wrong side of the mountains!

looks wintery!  where on the duffey was that?

Looks like the same trip, the tags have more info, it is off Blowdown FSR...

You would be correct running clouds pretty much right at blowdown pass.
  Long way up the road 15km to the lake sled travel pretty quick. From there 1000ft runs in the alpine.
