White Pyramid

White Pyramid sits among Mt.Chephren and Howse Peak in what is probably on of the greatest places I have been to in the rockies. On skis it has always been one of the most attractive peaks to try in my mind and it was great times to saddle up with the posse and head up the Parkway on Friday to try our luck.



Up towards the start of the ascent
High on the flanks of White Pyramid, solid snow and cool ambient temperatures made our minds relax.
Towards the top it opens up to amzing views of Columbia, the Freshfields and so many more- We could spend a lot of time pointing them out. Truly stellar.
Oh yeah. The descent was amzing. A hairy section on the ridge turned us around just shy of the summit and we anticipated gnarly conditions to bring us down to the car. Nope, just some of the best spring skiing imaginable. Hero snow from 10-30 cm deep all the way to the flats Outstanding. 1500M down.
Cold beers awaited in the car after an amzing day. Thanks to Sean, Ryan and Mike for a really great time.
