The forcast was for blue skies so we decided to do some camping in the Duffey!
We explored quite a bit of the south side of the road, now we wanted to check
out some of the north side, so we headed to Cayoosh.
We skinning in for an hour and set up camp.
We wanted to ski Million Dollar Couloir again so we skinned up the North
Glacier since we accessed Million
Dollar couloir from the East Glacier on our last trip.
Navigating the glacier was pretty straight forward. Across the valley you
can see the ridge separating Marriot basin from Cayoosh.
Once on the ridge accessing Million Dollar Lee shows his new Yoga SKILZZ
Joffre’s looking grand in the background
Then we head across the ridge.
And down we go!
Looking back up.
Gavan was here two years ago and skied a lot. Since then he’s been working
in a decompression chamber, surfing and doing some cross fit. Doesn’t quite
prepare you for ski touring!
The next day we go back up to the same area but instead we drop down into
Marriot basin
Heading into Honey Blond. Not a lot of pics cause vis was crappy.
On our way back we drop into the west facing slopes into Cayoosh
Day three we head out and ski on the south side cause we weren’t expecting
much, but it snowed more then expected and Chief Pascal delivered!
