Powder Spring - March 29/30

This year brought spring ski conditions in February and now that spring is here the POW is back – yehaa! It was cold and rainy in Vancouver last week, but with a nice forecast we were off to the Duffey Lake again. Saturday was probably our biggest b/c day ever – over 2000 meter vertical. While south faces were getting cooked by the March sun, the north holds lots silky smooth POW. An avalanche path was visible from the road on a steep ridge line, so we keep exposure low on smaller features around tree line. Not wanting to repeat the chilly night experience in the tent from two weeks ago, we drove the short way back to Mt Currie and came back for another powder day on Sunday.
