TR: Windy Pass - first dump in SW BC
Not quite skiing yet but definitely got me stoked but a bike trip over two 2200m/7,000 foot passes with about 30 cms of accumulation at the top.
Teaser for a story I'm writing:
View from 1600m - not that much accumulation yet - it should show Mt Sheba
This should be a view to the Dickson Range
Here's Windy Pass
and the descent down Windy Pass
Eldorado Creek Cabins where I'll ski-tour this year

Very cool. What tires were you running to avoid sliding out on all that fluff?
