Cerise or Joffre Creek approach?


Recommended Posts

Curious as to the driving conditions to the above "trailheads". Cerise is higher, but is it snow-free yet? Interested in Matier's NW Face and Joffre's SW Couloir (Australian Gully?) and descending SE Face, and getting some turns in while we're there as well. What would be the better approach for the above itinerary?

go in cerise

 

why the hell would you want to go down the se face at this time of year? just kick steps back down aus gully until you can see your runout then glissade.

 

the snowline is enough you can take the summer approach and drive to the trailhead. no doubt there will be snow around the hut, and patches under the trees lower down.

 

you could take your skis, they will be irrelevant before about 10 am and increasingly useful thereafter. several years ago in late may the snow on the anniversary was too soft to even butt slide in mid afternoon cry.gif
