Hello first post here - thx to Tim and susan for headsup on a board heavy on content and light on non ski related crap

I had the good fortune of spending two weeks at Fairy Meadows in the northern Selkirks with two groups of exceptional people and skiers. 

During the first week (March 17-24th) at total of 1.7m of snow fell.  During the second week, we enjoyed 6 bluebird days. 

This is the account of the first week.  Day 1 was a washout as the weather didn't allow the helis to get us into the hut.

Day 5 - Solo tour to Granite Glacier and Pioneer Pass with decent but stormy weather -



I sent Lee a note on the three-pic per thread rule here.

Keep your boots off, he is a MVP sort of backcountry skier, will gladly accord with the guidelines, and I hope he becomes a constant part of the TAY patter.

Nice job Lee...Congrats on skiing 505...that is one sweet line.

I've enjoyed your website and photos for awhile now. Looking forward to your pics from week 2.
