Ptarmigan Peak - Ski South-West Slopes

Ptarmigan Peak from Halfway Hut

Great day of turns with young guns John and Colin. Plan A was to summit Ptarmigan Peak, but the summit ridge was being raked with high winds, so we did laps on the south west slopes of Ptarmigan, just above Hidden Lake. Great snow at tree line and just below. Blue skies and lots turns. 

View to Ptarmigan from near the hut.

Quick snack in the historic Halfway Hut.

You can see the huge snow rooster off the summit ridge above Colin's head.

Our turns were 2500m and then back to tree line.
