Arrowsmiths - Day 3

A pretty serious NW front was forecast to be ruining our Sunday but the worst of this blew through during the night leaving us with a rainy/snowy whiteout. The Arrowsmith Range was proving a top notch wind shield though so we went out to check on the snow.

Some compression tests in our world of white

Plan A was to go check out Banfield Hut at the bottom of Jagged Stream but some wind slab on the slopes below Peg Col and the fact we couldn't see a thing put us off this plan.

Coilour on the western side of the valley above Cameron Hut

We spotted this couloir on the other side of Cameron Valley though. This was another quick lap from the hut and was wide enough to pick up some speed in, powder filled and a lot of fun.

The day was saved!
