Beautiful. There is no way I could have pulled myself away from the powder laps!!

Isn't it more fun to figure it out yourself with a map @DruZovich? Or, is that just me?

You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one

You're pretty much guaranteed to break both legs falling on low angle terrain with crampons. If you survive, it would make for a fun crawl until you slowly die of exposure.....all by yourself in the winter. No thanks.

I'll say! Looks like a really great day out @AlpineK

For sure @Bronco....total classic!

What......the.......hell

Excellent perspective @tstory, thanks!

Now that is brilliant.

More like an afternoon

ooooooohhhhhhhhh

More commitment

shoot...looks like it didn't.

Our plan worked!

Good to know about Strathcona, I will have to add that to the list!

BIG SNOW! Good point about 3C on DT, I wonder if this line is as reliable or Colin and Dave found exceptional conditions?

I remember this, great looking line. Thanks for digging it up @Off_White!

You'll need ski crampons at a minimum and July is likely to be sun-cupped and challenging going up and down. Spring conditions are often tricky for skinning, let alone your first time. It really depends on how the spring shapes up. Some years Adams could still be an OK ski, but others it might be terrible. Typically, once July comes, I put the sliding gear away. I actually think walking in July is more fun and not much slower, if at all (since you're traveling lighter on the way up). If you can move the trip to late May or early June then it is a different story.

I hope those come with a pizza pouch. Mmmmmmmmmm......pizza.

Well, shoot. You're right @AnthonyLubetski. I'll keep trying though.

And a pair of these would round up to the price of the CG snow mantra.

This will be much warmer @Peter007: http://featheredfriends.com/rock-ice-down-parka.html

Thanks @To_The_Top and @olyclimber, glad you liked the photos! Oly, my wife and kids most definitely don't want me to quit my day job.
