Ledge Mtn. Tour

After two days of sloth and gluttony we needed to move! Despite naysayers, we were confident that skiable BC conditions could be found as is usually the case. Skiing all conditions in the BC builds skills and makes nearly all snow conditions fun on skis. Ski was in the SW edge of Adk Park. Snowmobile trail made for an easy stroll up the road.

And soon onto an obscure trail to a cliff. Warm -mid 30s. sunny day with gathering clouds.

Easily gained the low ridge looking over the expanse of the SW ADK Park as a pack of coyotes howled in the West Canada River Valley below.

We found 1'-2' of locked up crust, a few streams on steeps were blown out, but the snowpack held nicely. 2" of warming new snow from Xmas eve made the hardpack very skiable, but faaast!

Sometimes threading the needle is the way to go,

but other times throwing on the brakes is the right choice.

Fast cruise out.

Nice sunset *Kate's picture as are most of the good ones.

Tips up!
