Sunshine Skiing - End of the Season

Headed out to Sunshine on Sunday, courtesy of Tristan and met up with Joe, Lou an their friend Chris who is visiting. For those of you that were in the city you'll know that it put down a few cm's on saturday afternoon and evening which made us quite optimistic for the snow conditions. While not being a true, baseless, deep powder day there was a good few inches with a fairly solid base beneath it which made for some lovely skiing in the morning. Later on we headed out of bound looking for some fresh turns which paid off we we got some lovely powder skiing on a slope up and above the Continental Chair bottom station.

Taken from the top of the 'Bye Bye Bowl', Mt Assiniboine is the shapely peak on the right.

After a hearty lunch of Yam fries and wings in Trappers we headed over to Goat's Eye for the afternoon with the intention to ski some of the chutes, unfortunately these were closed, but we manged to traverse from Cleavage almost up to them for some nice steep skiing and then some snug trees. We skied middle/lower canyon out that is certainly showing its age as there are three streams that have opened up which require little jumps to get across them!

So, probably the last day on planks for me this season, its certainly been a good one - better then my average of a week in Switzerland/France and the odd day in Scotland!
