Went back for the Wonder Gully with better visibility on Monday. Cat and I approached from the south shoulder of Chair Peak. I was a bit knackered from Sundays 8 hour tour so I figured we would skip the Hourglass section of the gully and drop in mid way.
We stopped at the base of the Hourglass area off to the side and had a snack. I was telling Cat that 2 years ago when I skied this line, we had taken a break in the same spot and 3 guys dropped in above us.
I said not today, it would have been skied by now if it was going to be.
No sooner than I spoke and 2 guys dropped in above us. They stopped where we were sitting and I asked where they planned to drop in.
The nice Patroller that he was asked; "where do you want us to go?" I mentioned our plan of dropping the couloir on the right, he said "ok, we'll take the left side."
What thoughtfull etiquette, I was most certain at the time they would just fly by us and ski our line. What a pleasent surprise, thanks guys!
