Backcountry skiing (Wayback) 4:00:00 [2] 15.0 km (16:00 / km) +1250m 11:18 / km
Another cancelled ski trip - this time to SME. A few people were coming from too far away and some people still felt like this trip was not following current rules. Tricky as a critical mass of the participants were vaccinated but too early to really play that card. Anyway a handful of people still went on a boutique small group trip - while the rest of the locals decided to keep one of the guides (Joey V) busy with local objectives. Today's trip included Courtney, Russ, Vikki and Atsuko. Objective was Green's Glacier but the weather never cooperated and we did a couple laps on the Bonney side (looker's right of the usual moraine runs). As I had never been up this way it was still a satisfying objective. Conditions lower down were a bit sticky but snow above 1500m was great. Back needed a few stretch breaks but held up. Felt a little mechanical skiing down as I was trying to avoid bending too much.
