Black Prince to Sawmill Ski Traverse

Another good day out today enjoying the solidifying conditions in the Rockies. Next week I am off to "Lost Wages" for some climbing so it was a fitting last day of skiing for a while. Aaron had the idea to traverse across some excellent country in Kananaskis starting at Black Prince and Ending at Sawmill. Approx 9km with about 1200m total elevation. Along the way we skied excellent NE facing shots and skinned up in the wonderful spring like temperatures. A great and highly recommended outing if the conditions allow.



Zach and Amitai on the approach above Black Prince. I've never skied the Prince and it was great to finally check it out. This place gets hammered by skiers probably every day of the winter.
Ascending towards an unnamed col leading up and into the "James Walker Creek" basin. Critical decision making time.
Excellent run down with 20cm of powder atop a hard crust.

Big thanks to Zach, Amitai, Aaron and Megan for a great day. Nothing beats just looking at a map, figuring out a line and going skiing.
