Bow Peak Couloir - A Tasty Treat

Yesterday I teamed up with friends Mike, EJ and Rob for a little couloir skiing on the back 40. We were getting a bit hungry during the approach and it was a blessing to discover this tasty treat, the "Mostly Hidden Chute" on Bow Peak to cure our belly aches and deliver a good dose of joy to the group.
Here we see Rob O demonstrating that with enough coffee, even climbers can throw down the buisness.
Again, Mr O demonstrating perfect jump turns in the chute al la Scott Schmidt

Approach.

Afterwords we just kept on skiing as we lapped the fan below the couloir until it looked like Mike Weigle was there with a 212 and 10 hungry guests. A really great and hilarious day with the boys.

Good to see you're getting out there, Ross. Looks like this will be a good ski season.

Meanwhile, I'm just marking.
