Nevermind all that, there is a big idea. Saturday: hangover, letdown, car shuttle, Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton, Whistler, cheap lift tix and finally on the way to Russet Hut in a whiteout. Instinct gets us past Cowboy Ridge but no-compass no-GPS steeze let our wasted asses wander in the whiteout for two hours before we find the hut.
Sunday: it should still be dark but it's crystal clear and let's go, even if we're starting much too late!
Naomi and Eric approach Fissile-Whirlind Col. Andy is somewhere a ways down there, probably losing his shit worrying about all the bombs on Flute. The first few felt like scary settlements to me.
We take a quicker, low route below Overlord and ski some nice powder to the Fitzsimmons Glacier. It's a perfect day with terrific travel conditions. Andy skis toward Macbeth with Fitzsimmons and Overlord in the background.
Naomi skins toward the Macbeth Glacier - Naden Glacier col.
Do the reverse-Spearhead Hokey Pokey and we're finally almost to Tremor.
Andy tries to maximize his turns on the last short descent before Tremor.
Eric and I look down the west side of Tremor, but it looks beat and we have a long way to go. The North Face is on our way and plenty fun. Andy has never skied it.
Eric gets first tracks on the North Face of Tremor.
And it's good!
Now it's my turn.
It's fun the second time, too.
Andy has lots of fun with his sluff.
Below the North Face, it's time for an epic heli run. Naomi cuts the ribbon with Wedge in the distance.
Now we go really fast for 1000 m. Then we find ourselves at Wedge Creek. It's a bit late. That looks like a big mountain. Oh well, to Wedgemount we go!
The next day, original plans get abandoned for Rethel, some quality cross-country freeriding.
