Today I finally got to ski for the first time this season. Weather was spectacular, snow as well.
Rogers Pass is starting to fill in but for now the skiing is quite limited to the alpine and high trees, and this is the case only up couple of drainages (spots)!
The day turned out a bit longer than I anticipated but we really didn’t have any specific plan. And 2260m/7400f doesn’t feel that much when the downs are so good, and a friend “in great shape Igor” breaks most of the trail for you 😉
We skied the Video Peak twice, then headed up Bruins Pass and skied out the 8812 bowl. All fresh tracks except the second time down Video.
Today’s lesson: We were only a group of three but didn’t manage communication quite well today. In hindsight, it’s not a surprise as each one of us had somewhat different expectation from the day but no one communicated theirs. So always make sure all are on the same page, if not, figure out group options. Plus, looks like the nice weather and lots of other keen groups affect anyone quite a bit.

Yes, it’s good to see the uphill route there as my first time up Video was a little ballsy 😉
