What a view…. need to go back…
I was in Whistler on a ski trip since last Thurs – back now (could say unfortunately..).
This first shot is my favorite bowl found on Whistler peak accessing Monday’s and Cockalorum runs. What a view on the way down… double diamonds, so proceed with caution (if the cliff danger signs don’t say enough). This particular spot had a cornice drop in with about 6 inches of very nice powder once you got off the ledge. One of the only runs with perfect snow every day.
I have to give the guys at Volkl my highest praise for building the most phenomenal ski I’ve ever used – the Volkl Unlimited AC4 has no limits in the most extreme of conditions. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a solid all mountain and powder ski. The Market iPT piston bindings are superb. I can’t say enough about the combo.

Here’s one sign to watch out for… avalanche debris can be “difficult” to ski on especially in near white out conditions ;-)
Thanks to Josh for remembering his camera.
