Great views Fun Turns

    We were up at the Pass a couple of weeks ago ( just before all the big snow falls) and had two great days with some amazing views. It hadn't snowed in a while so there were tracks every where but we managed to find some good turns. Stability was good so the first day we headed up Video Peak and then up Bruins to 8812 bowl. Second day we headed for Young's Peak. We had an amzing tour up the glacier with fantastic views looking back towards Sir Donald, Uto and Eagle. Unfortunately we had to turn around on the ridge up to Youngs as there was a hard wind crust, very strong winds and it was getting late. All in all a great few days.
