Nick and I got some turns in on ZOA peak up on the Coquialla.
The snow was excellent and it was frickin' cold! -19 C on the bottom without the windchill. Fingers turned into useless wooden things attached to our hands after a minute of exposure putting our boots on. My feet also got numb and it took 20 minutes of uphill activity to get some feeling back into them.
Once in the sun it got quite pleasant out and we had the place to ourselves.
A couple hours of skinning up got us to a nice sunny place for lunch. It was extra great to get out with my best ski buddy and this year holds great promise to be a stellar year. Next time bring an avy beacon that works so we can get some turns in up higher!

Matier glacier Spring 2016
I had an early start to try and meet up with Bob. Ended up not seeing anyone else but had a great ski down the glacier after the weather closed in.
