Cerise Creek Ski Tour

Last Sunday after a smooth Americano in Brackendale, Jen, Matt and I headed up to "The Duffy," for a tour of the Cerise Creek area. Matt is an adventure racing teammate of Jen's from Seattle and was up in BC for some adventure exploration and general fun. Jen and I were excited to show him some backcountry stashes. Of course prior to burning energy we had to stop for some body fuel in Pemberton. We all demolished a wicked breaky and then had to have another coffee at our favorite spot in Pemberton before making our final approach to the Duffy. After gearing up we blasted up the Cerise powering through 20 cms of fresh light powder on our way up to our first descent. We had a beautiful decsent off the lower shoulder of Mt. Matier. It was so fun that we had to do another one but we picked another line that was sitting in the golden sunshine of a beautiful mountain day. Back up we skinned. Our final run of the day ended with knee deep, fresh light powder. Matt lead the way with some beautiful turns as Jen and I found our own clean lines down into the valley behind him. From there we blasted back out to the parking lot and ended our day with yet another coffee in Pemby. Apres was at the Cottonwoods Mountain and Ocean Resort for nacho's, a fire and some well earned beverages. Thanks goes to Matt for coming up and hanging with the Brack pack. We are already looking forward to the next adventure.

Here is Matt after our skin up for our first run. Joffre Mountain is looming behind him.
