Maquill-ahhh

During hard times last season we made a scout trip to Maquilla Peak in hopes of one day returning for some actually skiing. We made it happen today and boy was it worth the wait! Access via the Nimpkish main and Pass main was dreamy. We were able to travel on sleds from the 700 m mark all the way up to 1200m on logging roads. From there it was a cruisey 1.5 hr skin to the north west sub peak. The sun was poking in and out of the convective skies and there wasn’t a lick of wind on our cheeks. We observed stiff wind transported snow on the surface in high north facing terrain. But a quick dig before our descent didn’t set off any alarms bells and it was game on. The turns were boot top high and creamy soft. We skied the main line down the north west aspect with smiles from ear to ear.
