Deep powder on Hilda Ridge

esmeadows , Thursday 28th November, 2024 7:15AM

We skied the south side of Hilda Ridge from the westernmost col. There was no skin track to this point, so we had to break trail for the last little bit, and we descended the long slope to the moraine through untouched deep powder. Our enjoyment of the powder was tempered somewhat by the overcast skies and flat light. Winds were calm to light, temperatures mild, and skies partly cloudy to overcast. Very good early season conditions, better than Parker Ridge which we skied the day before.
