Mt MacPherson / Burnt Knob

Revelstoke this weekend, with a first attempt on Mt MacPherson in mind.   We ran into Gavin on the way to the Fingers, which it turned out was very lucky - his friend had tried our intended route a few days ago and the description was not appealing.  We went the long way around instead, and found some great mellow skiing areas (although they would be better with real snow, I think).

Conditions were firm (like really firm) on the way up.



We ended up topping out on the Burnt Knob for a 1200m climb, switching between skinning and bootpacking on the way up.



By the time we headed down the warm day had melted the top few centimeters.  Skiing was surprisingly great.
