Rex's Pillar 2nd annual cornfest

Had a great climb/ski on Rex's Pillar. Perfect weather and company with BackCountryPunk and The Rat. Excellent corn snow conditions for the most part.

I'm off the get to the steep bits.

The NW face of Matier in the distance

I skied from the summit. It looks here like it's an easy run, but it is the steepest part of the mountain, maybe 50 degrees + for a bit. You just keep rolling over and the horizon is all snow, the lower slopes don't become visible until you put a number of turns in. Then it gets steeper. It wasn't corn snow at all up there more hard,packed and sun cupped and my boot broke at the top which made it a bit challenging since my heel wasn't locked down. I never feel more alive than at times like these.
