Too many people at the Burton Hut.  Nice foam pads at the shanty above Sentinel Bay.  Too much wind and powder on Garibaldi. 



Finally got the cross-country freeride style descent on the Northwest Face of Castle Towers.



The Barrier has generous coverage to ski to Rubble Creek.  Do yourself a favor and skip the switchbacks on the descent.  But, whatever you do, rejoin the trail below the switchbacks!  Do not try to follow Rubble Creek to the trailhead!  I repeat, do not try to follow Rubble Creek to the trailhead!
