Daily vert: 1250

The weather and snow conditions were looking great, so a relatively large group of Jon, Claire, Rob, Janet and myself decided to head up to the Duffy and score some pow close to the highway. The day didn't get off to the best start- Claire overslept and was almost an hour late, and Jon forgot his transceiver and was unable to find another at such an early hour in Pemby. Quickly forging a plan B, Jon drove my car back home, and I carried on with Claire, Rob and Janet to the Cerise Creek parking.
We headed up Vantage Ridge to the run called South Side (even thou it faces north) and were pleased to find the trail had be broken the whole way to the ridge line. A quick compression test gave 2 results of CTN, which was very encouraging. The girls took a break for lunch while Rob and I skied the sublime pow on South Side, then after skinning back up we carried on to Cheques in the Mail. The top of this run was equally fantastic, although there was a little bit of bush whacking to get back to the road lower down. The only drawback of this line compared to some of my Duffy favourites is the fairly long skate along the road to get back to the car, but the long runs of pow certainly made it worth while.
