Happy valley leading to some very enjoyable bumps, progressively getting larger as you gow down.

Bottom of happy valley

Looking up the summit T-Bar and the main basin. Great spring snow.

A reasonable walk over to the spring run and flypaper

Looking down the lefts side of the canyon to the plateau beyond.

Spring run is excellent, wide and fast spring snow.

Bottom of the Spring Run?

The main basin in the morning cloud.

Heading into Rannoch Glades, a bit thin with rock hopping but easy. The run is great.

Looking down the wide main basin

Top sation

Over all view of the mountain, plenty of choice.
