Backcountry skiing in Whistler, Blackcomb and the Duffey (Decker, Matier and Twin one, Duke Vantage, Brunswick – Hat Creek, Chief Pascal, Cerise Creek)
Joffre – NPE Couloir.
Day three of spring brings us back to the Duffey. We are joined today by Stu,
Graham how is moving to Toronto for 5 years for med school, Tyler and Nigel
who is getting into splitboarding. Its a bit warmer today but the snow is still
stellar.

Stop for lunch, Chief Pascal in the back

Time to bootpack. We make Graham take the lead since he’s moving to Toronto! Might as well start the suffering!
