| N Blue River Lodge and Yurt. |
Just back from an amazing week with friends in the snowy world of North Blue River Lodge. Just pure good times skiing powder, enjoying great meals and the company of friends both new and old in the quiet mountains. We were able to get up high on day one, skiing some nice alpine terrain during the drought conditions at the time, linking up to a nice ridge, down a N facing couloir which connected to the valley bottom, 1200m later. A couple of us snuck out for a pre-dinner snack afterwords in the form of an excellent boot top run in the steep trees, back just in time for the apres and appetizer course. The next few days blur together between great skiing, lots of laughs and close to a meter of storm snow. Just great.
