Burstall Pass – April 13, 2021

I’ve skied this route many times, but I still an awestruck by the scenery.

Skiing towards Whistling Rock Peak.

 

Commonwealth Peak, with the Chester/Fortress group in the distance.

Mount Birdwood.

 

View from North Burstall Pass towards South Burstall Pass and Mount Sir Douglas.

 

I skied below the big windlip into the sinkhole.

 

A sunny day with cold powder snow in the middle of April.
