    yep that is us. 3 of us were doing the traverse, 3 others were skiing Hourglass. We saw you guys poking around up there and wondering what you were up to. Saw you try to go up to the top of pattison and then back down, to the northern peak? Did you ski this face? http://static.panoramio.com/photos/o...l/49493229.jpg We did that a couple weeks ago

    Our initial plan was Tremor main face.

    That wind coming over the col changed our minds.


    Moved up the ridge to have a better look into one of the side chutes on Pattison. Didn't like the loading and potential for slabs.


    Skied the little peak beside Pattison. Think people are calling it Pattison Wedge? Some sluffing on the main line so we skied the wind spine.


    Hit Trorey on the way back from the edge of the cornice. Bit wind affected but still good.

    19th Hole was a bumped out mogul run by the time we got back to it.

    Wonder how the conditions on Hourglass were, looks very well filled in.

    nice.. ya that pattison 'wedge' is a good steepness. man.. that wind was brutal on ridgelines. Bootpack ridge was probably the worst wind I've been in.. ice pellets smashing into your face at ~100km/h while trying to teeter yourself with cliffs on either side and skis on your back torquing you!

    Did you ski down to the flat and realize you're hangin' brain in front of ~200 people?

    Ha ha ha! That gives new meaning to the term 'head injury".
    I still prefer the Spearhead pics.
    Now to combine the same antics with windy ridgeline ascent=major shrinkage or possibly blackballs

    Pretty sure he was hoping to keep his identity covert, but you could smell the french one from the roundhouse, he's that filthy!

    If he does indeed want to keep his identity covert he should probably contact unofficial whistler for posting his name right on the front page. If you guys need that down right away let me know and I'll call hombre Jake who posted it.
