The past 5 days have been absolutely fantastic. Rob, Jason, Adam and myself started at Fernie ski resort, ducked into the back country and skinned in to Liverwurst bowl where Rob and Adam headed up over Liverwurst into the back, while Jason and I continued up and over Orca bowl, which gave us a really good look at the terrain to be had in the area.
Second day Rob and Adam hit some chutes and bowls while Jason and I took a mellow rest day hitting the slopes around the hut.
Third day the 4 of us headed up to the top of Big Steep Mother (BSM). We skied down the BSM bowl and then skinned up to BSM ridge and dropped into "Clitorous Chute" back down into Orca Bowl. Skinned half way up Orca Bowl and then dropped yet another fun chute down in to Cabin Bowl. Skinned up and ended the day with a short run back down to the hut.
Fourth day the visibility was not all that great so Jason and I did a few laps in the snow ghost trees on the south side of BSM. We hit the top of the ridge for our final lap of the day and noticed that the visibility had lifted some what, so we ended up doing a sweet line into Cabin Bowl called "Don't Worry". What a fantastic run. On the way back up over the pass we were tempted to hit a couple shorter steep runs but it was getting late so we decided to wait until the morning.
5th and final day. Woke up early to go hit those shorter steep shots into Cabin Bowl. Fun stuff. Back over the pass, packed up our stuff and skinned up to the top of Orca Bowl. Had a fantastic run down Orca to valley bottom and back to the car down the valley.
Hit some really stellar lines!! I'll spare you the details of the general silliness at the hut, but I will say that Jason did a fantastic intentional flying squirrel belly flop in to the snow out of the second floor of the hut.
Hopefully I will have some pics up soon.
