"ACC trip to Wheeler hut. went up the steep (sooooo many kickturns) summer route and reached the summit. Skied the W face directly down, through steepish (35-48 degrees) open slopes, then through pillows and into the trees. Top was bit wind affected, released several sluffs of the reactive top foot of snow. Minimal avi concerns below TL." — apfelstrudel • Jan 18, 2020

"It was cold -23C in the parking lot. I came layered. I did pretty good, managed to not sweat too much. Decided to continue right to the summit (as opposed to stopping at top of gondola) as I was doing good and not freezing. The way down was nice. I stayed warm. Didn't use the microspikes." — BertB • Jan 12, 2020

"ACC ski trip I led. We chose his destination due to avalanche risk being a bit in the high for bigger terrain. We rode slopes of maybe 30 degrees at most, no avalanche issues. Fun treed skiing." — apfelstrudel • Jan 11, 2020

"last summit of the year, rounding up to a nice 45! thankfully there was a track set all the way to the summit! avi conditions were good, got one wumph near the summit in shallow snowpack. Last 75 m were wind-affected, apart from that nice powder." — apfelstrudel • Dec 30, 2019

"Originally, I had planned to go alone for this one, but Mike was looking to get out, so I ended up with good company. The trail was broken as well, so with a snappy pace we made it round-trip in about 3.5 hours (less than 4 including a summit lunch, pictures and layering stops). We didn't see anyone out our way, although there were some horses and riders heading down by the river at the junction just as we left and a few sledders heading towards Cat Creek. Views were spectacular, wind wasn't terrible and temperatures seemed fairly stable - cold in the woods and shadows, a few degrees warmer in the sunshine. It was -13 when we departed and -13 when we got back to the car. I had expected this to be boring through the trees, but there was some beautiful scenery nonetheless. On the way back we followed a different (sled) track and did a bit of a loop back. You could also head right to the 40 and walk back on the road if you wanted, but then you'd have to find a decent spot to cross the Highwood. " — leigh-annewebster • Dec 30, 2019
