So, my ski hill closed way back on April 3rd in absolutely amazing conditions.
Kootenay Pass is an awesome playground for the ski tourer.
first run from lightning strike ridge down to the twin lakes basin.
Got a picture here of some avi debris at the bottom of LSD from a previous slide.
Lastly, Banana Chute is a north facing run that takes you back towards the highway.
This thing is what the kootenay’s are all about.
North facing, steep, chutes, ridges, trees, cliffs, fun to the very last turn.
A week ago, however I did manage to nab one line I’ve been wanting for a while.
500M vert, northeast/north facing… fun times.
Because of that, I went to the pass with the soul mission of checking the Crags out.
The top of our first run down the main chute off the north face of the Crags.
Dylan linking up some nice drops.
Show Off is the face directly above the parking lot (hence the name).
Very shitty snow conditions made for some technical skiing down to the car.
