Backcountry skiing (100eight) 5:00:00 [3] 15.0 km (20:00 / km) +1535m 13:14 / km
Sentry Day 3
Sunny and calm - mild inversion but snow quality on solar aspects was holding up. We started with a descent to the bottom of the Shield. The trees were rather tight. I think in the future I'd take the traverse route and cut out a little climbing (if avalanche conditions allow as this route crosses a steeper slope).
First run was off the ridge down to Tetris Lake. The back up a more direct route (probably best after having skied the slope) and down Battle of the Moores. I looked at the more direct lines we skied last time but they were rather thin or had avalanched. Better snow conditions today with warmer temperatures and faceting of the surface snow.
Climbed up SBS (partially) and skied two lines back to valley bottom, plus a line in Kashmir. I called it a day at this point and short cut the shoulder back home. In retrospect using the old track would be faster as only a couple side step sections, though still need to put skins on. Not the best route for snowboarders though.
