Kevin_Ristau Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Cypress Peak, 6800 Ft. , IN the Squamish/Cheakamus Divide May 30, 2003 Left the trailhead at 9 am, 3000 ft. Bootpacked up some avalanche chutes and skied to the head of the valley, then ascended to the col on the north side of the peak. We skied to within 100m of the summit, and scrambled to the top. The ski down involved very wet, heavy mush and some interesting survival skiing in the avalanche debris chutes lower down. And a little slide alder to cap off the day. The snowline was almost down to 3000 ft. The day started sunny, and clouded over by noon, as predicted in the forecasts (which saused us to change our big mountain plans in favour of something we could do in a day). Followed up by a few at the Shady Tree and some rock climbing at the Bluffs on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
