Total Vert so far: 25,815m
Friday Lee invited me to join him an Sharon on exploring what was for them a relatively unknown area, Casper Creek. At first I wasn't too excited, I figured that Lee has spent so much time in the Duffy, he must have all the high value routes pretty well figured out, and if it was an area he wasn't familiar with then it was going to be a lot of walking and not much skiing. Fortunately that turned out not to be the case. Although it is a very long approach into this zone- 7km on the flat, taking approximately 2 hours- There is a wealth of good skiing on Mt Duke, its lower bowls and the surrounding sub peaks. We treated this trip mostly as a recon mission, skiing as far as the lake at the bottom of the West Bowl of Duke, doing a few short laps and then heading home, but there is definitely more terrain worth coming back for.
