Well a small team assembled at a gentlemanly hour not long ago to hike the soaring heights in search of great weather, great turns and if all turned well, great powder snow. Nick, Jason and I met at 7 am in Canmore with the intent of couloir skiing. After driving almost to Mt. Murchison and looking at the usual suspects, we decided on a sort of "Integrale" starting at the popular bow summit and venturing to the peaks above, hopefully ending on a summit.....!

Entering the Couloir, entry to a wonderful snow basin above and a nice descent.
We enjoyed a nice, fast ascent ending on an outlier of Mt. Jimmy Simpson. On the way down we had great, deep April powder turns. I thought the powder skiing was over and it probably is but its great to get surprised by these wonderful conditions.
