    Sol Mountain Touring

    More quadruple overhead blower pow in the Monashees. 4.02m snowpack. Snowed 24 new before flying day then backed off for another day

    Took advantage of conditions to bust out S facing perfectly spaced trees slopes with multiple 500m shots. Acceptable

    You win a lottery or something? Seems you are at a different back country hut every couple of weeks.

    That is a clear sign of a Laksa overdose.
    Some nice timing. Some great lines off of Slate and Humility, but with all that snow, I'm guessing that'd be tough to get to? Have never skied from the lodge.

    hhahahah we don't call him the "one eye'd chinaman" for no reason.

    Just never let Lee give your an estimated distance on how big the cliff/cornice drop it.

    That 5m sign is needed. Minifie said they've had 400cm fall in 20 days of storm skiing.

    4.1m snowpack at Sol Mountain Lodge. More snow here than the entire TOTAL snowfall of Utah, Colorado and Tahoe combined year to date.

    Quality assured pow off Bear Creek and the mighty Chicken Knob

    Slobbing the Knob (Chicken)! Was there Jan 23-28 and it dumped every... damn... day. Glad to see the epic snowfall in the Monashees continues.

    Snow started out coastal today but 17cms new and lowered temps resulted in typical Monashees triple overhead blower

    Unfortunately I'm stuck working. Putting in two weeks notice next week and taking March off between jobs and moves.

    Will be road tripping somewhere.

    Thanks for the photos.

    Last day at Sol. 9cms of low density snow becomes 20cms new on top of the 40+ falling previously. Got cold but clouds hung around to end of day. Stuck to areas N of lodge and dodged arctic outflow in trees
