<p>Epic pow led us on the search for safe sending. We toured thru hummingbird pass, tho my partner doesn’t like to be in that valley bottom so we usually take the higher route…we were aiming for mt Beattie but didn’t quite summit because we traversed past the mellower se peak and tried switch backing up to the nw peaks due to lack of proper map reading or just impatience because it was already a long day at that point.
As we attempted to summit from the steep south side at about 1900m we encountered a bit of a settling and immediately stoped and slowly reversed course and chose a more cautious route down. Unfortunately this led us to a lot of flatting out but conditions were amazing so it was great.
Keep your wits about u out there with all this wind drift 🫡</p>
