Daily Vert: 1200m
Total Vert so far: 6400m
Yesterday Vince and I skinned up the road to Cayoosh, past the hut and to the bottom of the North Glacier, then up a ridge and over a shoulder in order to come down into Mariott Basin.
The forest/creek section between the cabin and the bottom of the glaciers needs WAY more snow, it took hours and was a total pain in the ass. The snow on the SE aspects looks and felt quite good, but we did see a pretty substantial natural slide from a few days ago.
The skiing down into Mariott basin was pretty rancid and totally wind hammered, and the ski out was boney, technical and sketchy. Even in good conditions that must be the lamest ski out in the Duffy. Unless maybe you are on snow shoes. Anyway, I'm not going back to the Duffy until we get at least a meter more snow!
Low road to Cayoosh. A bit bushy but otherwise ok.
Sketchy, slow and annoying creek bed skinning.
Fairly large natural on SE aspect
Bottom of Swivel Rocker really needs some work
Cayoosh North Glacier
Un named (I think) sub peak of Cayoosh
Slalok and Stonecrop Glacier
Vince at the top. Temps were between -25 and -20 all day.

Looking into Mariott Basin. The skiing was shit.
