Hooked up with Justin for a tour to the Blackcomb Backcountry. Justin is one of those rare apocryphal sightings somewhat like the Yeti; a competent telemarker who actually tele turns.

He was itching to do a one-day Spearhead but I convinced him that touring to and skiing off N facing peaks would result in a ski experience that would satisfy his needs as opposed to tromping around flat glaciers.

We hit Decker, Trorey, Pattison and Tremor. While Justin skied off the N face of Tremor I sketched down the Hourglass face. Sluff management was definitely the order of the day.
