Cougar Creek East Ross Peak. Après-ski at Steve's.

On paper this should be an amazing run. Easy to access. Long. Direct. Northerly aspect. And it is a good run. It's just that it looks like it should be an amazing run!

The ski down is less continuous than it looks, often wind effected at the top, and the lower reaches degenerate into a series of narrow gullies.

Perhaps we've simply never managed to be there on the right day.

It's still a heap of fun. Just leaves you wanting a little more.

We searched for an elegant way to climb back up to the adjacent slide path for a second run but it wasn't pretty and we pulled the plug half way.
