Once again ,well done!
It was funny when you guys came by my apartment,I could feel the stoke....
I was all grumpy because all I had time for was a night ski tour on Seymour.
That's life!
It is what it is....

Not too bad of an approach to the glacier, right?

It's about an hour of leisurely skinning from the road to the moraine. From there, it's a little over 1000 m of "fall line."
That sounds so easy, but I sure did feel tired?

Top of Joffre - 2721m. Bottom of JC as it hits the glacier ~ 2400m where it opens to the "spine line". So 1,000 ft of 50 deg couloir. Spine line is more like 45 - 50 degrees then Valley floor where it mellows to 30 deg is ~ 1800m. So just shy of a vertical km.

Epic day.I would have to say one of my top ten ski descents ever.I probably would have joined the group up the central couloir.Happy to open my mind to a new route.Doesn't get much better.Steep snow climb,short rock scramble,ski off the summitt,knee deep powder,first ski rappel with skis on, fall line,even deeper powder on the glacier.I think the mountain Gods we're with us on this day.
