Mt price and Taylor meadows 23.feb and 2.march

I was very excited to meet this for me new group of locals who I believed were good skiers and even better uphillers. I wasn't wrong and with some fresh snow after couple weeks of sunshine group of nine headed towards mt. Price 2052m. We divided into 2 groups. 1 did stay in the trees to enjoy better visibility and 2 went for the summit. It was little bit sketchy as the avi was high and I as the last 4th person was left on the slope alone. Somebody even cut small debris 5cm by 10m but again I was alone and I needed to catch up with them. Or turn around. Too late. Next time. Skiing from the summit was fine, I only hit rock once :) I couldn't see much, everything was just white. Straight into the trees and my eyes felt happier. I was sinking in the snow (30cm) a bit and could't get enough speed but still great skiing. On the way down we decided to give the Barrier a try. Which I wasn't happy about. I didn't think there is enough coverage. Which was partially truth. On the first turn i am hitting rock and my binding release. Damn! Time to turn around. But everybody just goes down. Ok, lets see. I hit rocks couple more times but the Trabs prove to be a good quality skis. 30-40cm of fresh with not much base led us to the first switchback at 820m +- Thanks to Paul we found the turnoff right away. Great day out for sure. 26km and 1500m elev.g.
Last weekend we went with Nicolas out and with heavy snow starting right in the morning we headed towards familiar terrain. Friend of mine reported some sun crust everywhere except N facing slopes but on Sunday we were lucky to have this crust covered by 20cm of fresh. We did 2 laps under Black Tusk and we would for sure do more if I didn't have birthday on Sat. Terrible driving conditions on the way home (slippery, slow traffic, accidents) reminded me again how precious the time is.
