Ben Furimsky and I headed out with plans of skiing Mt. Owen today, but after getting a good look at the face we decided to change plans and head elsewhere. Owen had a huge cornice blocking access to much of the face, plus some debris and wind affected snow, so we went over some other options. We both ski Axtel a lot, and we both wanted to ski something different, but Axtel looked like it was in perfect shape and Ben had put a snowmobile track all the way to the summit the day before. With the track in, we knew we could get a couple of laps in no time at all. I usually find snowmobile laps to be more trouble than they’re worth, but this one was just too easy.

This shot is from 2 years ago, showing part of 4th bowl. Good times straightlining through the cliffs, 4th bowl is the real deal.

We saw this dead porcupine on the side of the sledtrack. Seems like a dangerous meal to get, I wonder what killed it.
