What a difference compared to the same weekend last year which was our best powder weekend of the season (
http://bcwetcoast.blogspot.ca/2012/04/april-powder-april-1st.html). Same location as last year, Duffey Lake Road, but the weather was almost summer-like. Temperatures were in the high teens in Pemberton. We still decided on a ski trip and toured up Anniversary Glacier. Gorgeous weather, fantastic views of the high peaks and glaciers around us and on the way down corn snow. Not sure I’m into this kind of snow too much; powder is still my preferred skiing ‘substrate’. But the scenery was definitely worth the effort!
