With my brother and his girlfriend visiting for a few days from VT, today was the day to put the tour in their tour of this outrageous corner of the NW. Of course, the tour continues and it's time to head to the bar so I'll have to keep this short.
We contoured out around the back of Table, came down from the CP and back up over Herman Saddle.
Surprise blue bird all day long. The only down side of which was the 3-4 inches of new (on an almost universal crust) was turned to soon-to-be-crust slop on most aspects. North and West aspects were skiing beautifully, although, especially out towards Coleman Pinnacle there was LOTS of wind. New slabs (N/NW) were very reactive, running shallow but reasonably wide (small side of class 2).
Pictures to follow shortly.
