    Wow, looks like you nailed the conditions. I don't think I've seen soft snow on the summit of anything, let alone that beast.

    Thx for pointing out the axe Fritz. I need my eyes checked.
    We skied the North Ridge from the summit - very close to the red line you drew. I initially wanted to ski the NE Face, just left of the ridge, but we didn't like the way the snow felt on it.

    Some sweet siren songs a-sung by both the NE Face and E Face direct to the summit ridge. Where you drew the blue line looks amazing but I'd like to see a little more snow on it to put it into "true skiing conditions."

    I would say the Northwest Face is more prominent from the road, but check yer map. Topos don't lie, not even low-res Canadian ones.

    ^^ Word, thanks Lani.

    Bad use of "prominent." Prominent as in: from the road, and writ up in the Baldwin.
