Skiing at Marriott Basin

Deep powder in trees

2020/12/16

I went to backcountry skiing at Marriott basin.

We started hiking up at 8:30am from highway. It was cloudy and not snowing. We did not expect good condition due to warmer temperature and sunny days from some days ago.

at 1620m elevation

It started snowing around 9:30am, and new snow depth was already about 10cm at 1600m. We came to the top of our run at 11:15am.

We planned to ski at least 3 runs, since we started early, but an accident happened on our first run. The snow was too good to hold ourselves back… We went a little too excited, and one of us hits his leg against a small tree. It was not a serious injury, but we decided to head down.

We came back to our car by 1:25pm.

A great day with friends.

Here is a video from the day!
