BC Skiing 5:00:00 [3] +1400m
Tunnel Creek with Larry, Invermere Mike & Emilly. Larry asked me if I wanna go skiing at Tunnel Cr. last night and I said yes so he picked me up 9am this morning. I got up 7:30am and was going to take my time to get ready and have a nice breakfast then Larry showed at 8am and realized there was the stupid time change shit. Anyhow managed to get ready and grab some food and I was only 6min late.
There were 4 other cars parked at the parking lot (elev. 850m ish). We started skinning up at 10:30am. It took us about 1.5hr to get to the cabin (elev. 1650m ish) with one longer food break. Then we did 2 laps of 200m run above the cabin. 1st lap, we took skier's left of our up track, which was fairly mellow tree run then 2nd lap, we went skier's right of the up track and it was steeper, slightly sun/wind effected but consistent good run. We took same up track to get up on a ridge (elev. 1850m ish) then traverse the ridge to northeast then skied 700m elev Home Run, which was the best run of the day. Very nice treed powder slope and Larry guided us perfectly to the north abutment of a cliff and continued another 400m elev of descend and got back to the car at 3:30pm. Good stuff :)
