A Wild and Windy Opening Week at Batle Abbey

Its Friday of the Cold Smoke Week at Battle Abbey.  We have had plenty of cold smoke and plenty of wind!  We made it over to the King's Backside for one run on the first day and since then have been skiing the trees in Butters Creek.  Tehre is about 70cm of storm snow, so skiing is good.  We even skied a new line which we christened 'Heathen's Heaven.'  It has a distinctive gate way entrance and leads in to two large boulder fields that take you to valley bottom.

Fun in the Woodlot this morning.  Enroute to Pressure Drop Corner.

Missenmast Bowl - Northern Lights

This is a great place to ski, east of the Abbey.  You ski down Blue Danube to the deck, slide down valley two avalanche paths, skin up and go around the spur east into the Missenmast Bowl.  If the cornices aren't too big and threatening, you can climb right up to the top at 2540m.  You get a 1000m run down to the valley bottom.  Steep alpine at the top, nice rolly bowl in the middle and chutes down to the bottom.

Typee

Friday was our last day for a big tour.

The alpine had seen some wind, it was still cold but the sun was out and we were motivated! We headed out and went directly to Typee.

Some people had skin issues on this -27o day. I think it did actually warm up to -22.
