Crevasse exploration complete, it was time to ride down in the sun...

 

At the boundary for the hikes up the other side...

 

Transceiver checkpoint...

 

We decided to take a regular route down and all was lovely, until we hit the run-out 'piste' - it was the grabbiest, iciest run-out I think I've ever ridden - it was a relief to unclip and walk out.

Me approaching the bottom with board held aloft...

 

Another happy rider hikes out...

 
 

The valley was stunning in the sun though...

Dave arrives...

  



Back to 7th Heaven...

 

Inukshuk, Whistler Mountain & Black Tusk...

 
All of the above and Dave too...


 

Getting in on the act...

Neil & Dave on the top of 7th Heaven...

 

Watching the Fire & Ice show from the Longhorn terrace...

 

 

Not bad I suppose!...

A little round of Burt Reynolds shots to finish the evening...
