With Dave & Neil using this weekend day as a rest day to avoid the crowds, Andy & I headed back to Flute and ended up trying some different lines.

Me and some arse who was playing crappy Euro-pop music from a speaker - you don't hike away from the main slopes to listen to that shit, thankfully he slid off in his Barbie-world...

We then headed off to just below the avalanche debris...

The iconic Black Tusk up close...

So photogenic, I've take so many photos of it over the years - when you can see it that is...

Ice encrusted trees on the walk up...

No crowds here - we could see our lines through the debris that we'd taken 2 runs ago...

Some of the nicest snow of the trip...

Hiking up to Lesser Flute Bowl...

Looking back to the North Flute Cornice line. We watched a guy being photographed by his girlfriend taking a very ballsy drop midway along it, only for her to yell to him to do it again as she'd unfortunately missed the shot...
