January 14-15, 2005

I hadn’t been to Steep Creek in years, and I had been itching to return. Grahame, Chris and I headed up for an overnight trip. We had a leisurely start on saturday morning and only managed to squeak in onr short run after dropping our camping gear. The next morning we had quite a few exellent runs east of the lake. The snow was fantastic and the backcountry finally had a winter feel to it. I’ve got to get back here when the stability is a bit better; there are some fatastic runs I’d love to do.

Check out GQ’s blog from this trip.

Leaving the road, James Bond Basin straight ahead.

We get a short run at the end of the day.
