RichSo:
We left Vancouver at 4am, drove north towards Pemberton and then up the Rutherford Creek FSR, which was snow free to the end. We stopped shortly after the bridge due to waterbars.
RichSo:
The Menzel Memorial trail begins at the edge of the cutblock. Access to the peaks on the south side of the Rutherford at centre is difficult now with the removal of the bridge across. Otherwise, there would be some sweet couloirs to ski.
RichSo:
Looking ahead at our destination, up and to the right. Perhaps at this point, we should have turned around to crag in Squamish.
RichSo:
While it was beautiful and sunny (thanks yr.no!) on the Appa Glacier, there were big clouds forming over Whistler and Wedge.
RichSo:
Appa Peak is the one on the right. We thought about going up there, but decided against skiing the southerly aspect, given our late start.
