We wanted to ski the Million Dollar Couloir on Cayoosh, but heavy trail breaking up the glacier (not to mention getting off route around treeline slowed us down a bit, so we settled for Swivel Rocker instead… Not that this is a terrible plan B of course… Swivel Rocker is one of my favourite runs… So long and playful feeling, and the snow quality was top draw. Probably some of the best snow I've skied in the past 2 years! The approach to Cayoosh was just about OK… the road is kind of bushy, and the forest section between the lake and the bottom of the glacier could do with a little more filling in, but overall it is ok. Actaully the worst part was skiing out from the bottom of swivel rocker. That section in the creek needs a lot more snow. Overall we made it fine, but it was annoying and took about an hour, where as in good conditions it should take less than 10 minutes!
Steve eyes up the approach. Not the deepest snowpack ever, but but overall fairly straight forward
