<p>We skied into the Illecillewaet valley today with the objective of Lookout Col. about half way up to the col the winds started to blow mod to strong from the N. Things slabbed up really quickly and everything became reactive under foot. We decided to turn around and go play in the protected trees nearby towards the Vaux glacier. Conditions were powder. Trail breaking was thigh deep all day.</p>
