With Chief around these days its not often I get the chance to head west to Rogers Pass where at the sight of dogs, they issue tickets and bad bad vibes. Jeff, Neil and I saddled up and hit the road in the donut ensuing Subaru and made our way, coffee in hand to ski the fabled slopes of quite possibly, the best ski touring zone around.
We had heard they opened Christiana Ridge between Mt. Fidelity and Mt. McGill again and this was the first days plan.
Neil Contemplating the descent through the trees, Christiana Ridge offers some of the best tree skiing I have seen and we fired a long up track to near the alpine in the 40cm of new snow, which fell atop 60cm from the last few days, this all of course hit us in the face on the way down.
Although we couldn't stay at the best hotel in Revelstoke "the ol frontier", we did head there for breakfast. As usual they treated us very well and scared us for life with the pancake they served Jeff.
Hermit Alpine, Day 2.
Nice, Deep December powder turns.
