Backcountry skiing (Hi5) 3:00:00 [2] 15.0 km (12:00 / km) +1200m 8:34 / km
Just Courtney and I today - she had to stay in cell range so took her to Begbie and went up to the summer trail ridge. A few tricky trail breaking spots that could possibly be avoided by going up the climber's right of the creek gully after the Y junction. The glade on the other side of the ridge was fun (though does need good snow cover) and the east facing glade from the ridge back to the uptrack was also good. Lower down it was a bit lumpy with good pitches interspersed with trickier ones. The forest was quite open for all of it though. Have bruised my shin - from Friday I think and it will need a few days recovery. It is quite bothersome while skinning up - especially on left trending side hills.
