Russet Laps

Daily Vert: 1350m

Total Vert so far: 33,450m

On an overcast day Runar and I decided to do some more exploring in a heavily skied area.  We took the quick route out to Cowboy Ridge and then skied 3 laps near by.  The first was in the steep bowl to lookers right of Cowboy Ridge. This was the only thing we skied all day that didn't have tracks in it already.  The bowl is steep and well protected, and has plenty of cool cliff features, unfortunately the laps are a little short- only around 100 vertical meters.  Could be an interesting way to add a bit of colour to touring in this familiar area thou.  We then headed over to Russet Ridge and skied one of the couloirs off the main finger, and then the gladed bowl below.  This bowl had a disappointingly large number of tracks in it. Despite this we still did 2 laps in the bowl, then headed back up for the standard run down cowboy, and were back in crystal for wings by 3.30.   Fun day.

Runar heads home off Cowboy.
