Sir Donald-ish, Overlook-ish

A glorious clear day.

We were thinking of making our way to the Sir Donald-Uto col. Just because. It's a doddle in the summer. When we got there it looked like it would be a fair amount of Type II fun.

Instead we ambled up the slopes below the west face. There aren't too many days during the season that we'd consider placing ourselves on this slope but it felt right today.

Nice view to Overlook Col where we would head next.

The descent was so-so. Wind effected with plenty of small debris from the constant sloughing off Sir Donald. Neat spot though.

Next we followed the well beaten track to the Overlook Col. I'm sure local skiers were moaning about how busy Rogers Pass was becoming even 20 years ago. Long before we'd ever skied here. Even so, wasn't the Overlook tour just a little obscure a short while ago?

So we skipped the Overlook Bowl and skied down the west side instead. Very nice in the late afternoon sun.
