This week Dean and I went to Manning Park and spent two days backcountry skiing.

| Day 1 Fat Dog Trail and Day 2 Windy Joe |
On Tuesday we followed the Fat Dog Ski Trail up to the ridge between Big Buck Mountain and Three Brothers Mountain.

We made it to the ridge (where the Heather Trail is in the summer) right at our turn-around time of 3pm. We followed our tracks back and made it back to the car for dusk.
Day 2 we followed the Windy Joe Mountain trail up to the fire lookout cabin at the summit, There was lots of deadfall on the trail.

| The route starts on a cross country trail |
The hut had some nice views on the top!
The ski down through the trees was fun!
 |
| Dean was excited! |
A few notes:
-Simple terrain means this is a great area to visit when avalanche risk is high.
-We stayed the night at the Manning Park Resort What a joy to be able to dry our clothes and have a burger for dinner!
