The next day I picked Eric up in squamish and we drove to whistler. The weather was looking good but the forecast called for some weather moving in. We headed up to the showcase tbar and waited for it to open before heading into the blackcomb backcountry. The plan was to see how far we could get on the spearhead. We made great time and ended up at tremor pretty early. The weather started to move in though and we decided to bail and follow our skin tracks and way points back in the increasing whiteout. First we had to ski the north face of tremor, so much vertigo! We made our way back and skied out through the body bag bowl. Pretty awesome day with lots of hiking and some sweet lines as well.
Dani and I went up blackcomb a couple of days later and got an unexpected powder day which was pretty awesome. We lapped lakeside bowl and found some great snow.
The weather was kind of on and off during the break but close to the last weekend the weather improved. I headed up with Dani to whis and did some solo freeskiing since she had to do whistler cup stuff. I lapped flute a couple of times and found some good snow.
The next day I met a guy on the showcase tbar and headed up the blackcomb glacier to ski the poop chutes. The only problem is you have to do the stairmaster bootpack first. Once at the top we found some good turns back to the blackcomb glacier. I then met up with riley and found some awesome glade runs.
After a good night out with all the coaches I met up with Eric again and we headed out on the musical bumps to Fissle. We made awesome time and before no time we were on the top of fissile looking down Saddle Chute. Dropping in did not disappoint, It was probably one of the best runs I have ever done. Sweet deep powder on a 55 degree face. Then the slog back to cowboy ridge. By the time we got back to the village it wasn't even 2 and I was wiped from the pace! On sunday i did some groomers and said byeeee to everyone before heading back to portland. Awesome break!
