Trip: Cayoosh - East Bowls

 

Date: 5/12/2007

 

Trip Report:

After trying in vain to get someone to go ape on some remote couloirs, finally decided to hit up Cayoosh, which I had never before skied. The NE glacier is the Stanley Cup of ski runs, but since the newly high freezing levels were giving cornices and pocket slopes some really bad isothermic diarrhea, we decided to explore the more wide open east bowls, which were also found to kick some good ass. Also, it was very hot.

 

Summer is all upons :fahq:

I'd wanted to ski the chute directly off the summit, but it seemed to be the only thing that hadn't yet barfed itself.

Joooofre. We had thought of trying to ski Stonecrop face, but the whole thing looked to be vomiting down the lower funnel.

That run is one of my favorites. Other side has possibly the best ski day off the Duffey IMO. See those heli ski stakes?

Coast Range [sic, Dru, sic!] Heli's tenure runs right over Cayoosh:

So supposedly they only ski the west and southwest slopes from that drop?

 

We were surprised to see SIX snowmobiles try to get into Marriot/Rohr on Saturday, but turned back "because they had a girl" according to one guy. When I politely asked the fellow if the drainage was not widely acknowledged as non-motorized, he said, "It's Crown land, isn't it?" :anger:
