This morning I went up into Big Cottowood Canyon for some back country fun on my split board. It was a lot of work but so worth the fun that followed the hard climbing. We got on the trail by about 0830 and made our way up the trail till it ended and then started making our own trail.
The sky was blue and the powder was soft until we got about 3/4 of the way to the summit. The wind was howling and the snow started to get crusty and started to slough off at certain points raising the hair on everyones neck and changing our game plan a bit. We didn't hit the summit but we were very close and the snow was just epic and the view was out of this world. We got two big powder runs in and a vertical climb of 4000 ft. plus the 4000 ft down. Things are so much better when you have to earn it, and earn it we did. Nick, thanks for taking me out to see some true outdoors and the best powder i've seen EVER!!!
