Deep Week
I was going to go with "Heard you like to ski Pow". But it seems that's taken. So I'll default to the more kitschy "Deep Week". The snow was falling steady on December 20th when we pulled into Waterton and that set the tone for the holidays 'till the new year with deep and delicious being served up in Salmo too. Glad to see the high pressure move on and snow falling again.
Incredible shots. Didn't know that Waterton was a backcountry skiing mecca? Been there in summer so curious as to where you ski in winter?
Curious as well!
With another 65 words (and a bit of a story) you would have a good contender for the Expose Yourself Photo and Video Comp.
Not wanting to lead anyone astray here... I tried to tag the images as I uploaded them, but apperently I'm less than tech savy.
1st image with the txt is from Waterton
Then to stack of six images... Top row left to right.
1st one again Waterton, 2nd one Cornice Ridge, 3rd one Baldy Rocks
And the bottom row left to right.
1st one Cornice Ridge, 2nd one Evening Ridge, and the last one Evening Ridge.
A few more photos to get through and I'll have a Waterton post. With three days total winter alpine touring there I can't pretend I know much, but the Cameron Lake road seems to be the hot spot.
