Getting spoiled: Great early season touring at Rogers Pass

November 28, 2012 By Stano Faban Leave a Comment

It has been amazing couple of days at the Rogers Pass – no wind, good snow, and lots of blue skies.
In general, travel is pretty fast (also thanks to lots of up tracks and no snowing), however, some precipitation would be welcome as runs are getting pretty tracked out. But if one searches, one still finds.
Here are couple of photos from last two days during which the light was playing with imagination. They were taken from areas of Asulkan Glacier and Little Sifton. We did 2100m and 3 runs yesterday,  and one big 1500m run with some bushwhacking at the bottom today.
One thing to keep in mind, which I keep forgetting, that it’s only November and despite the good coverage above 1900m these are still early season conditions – holes, boulder fields and alder get in the way. Not a single core shot though since the start!
