First, excavate the trail sign....

Bluebird trail approach to glacier

Illecillewaet Glacier & Lookout Peak, approach right side of glacier and ski from col

Approaching Lookout Col in soup

Clears at the col, ski back to glacier

Tracks on far right as skies clear, revert to glacier loop plan

Rounding the crest of the glacier, 2 hours of the horizon revealing the Illecilleweat Glacier cap

North to Lookout Peak (looks a little smaller from the glacier side), endless peaks in distance

South to Gieke Glacier, Young's Peak on far right

West with Young's Peak on left, Asulkan drainage falling off right for end out loop tour exit

Peaktop sastrugi

Gieke Glacier as seen from summit of Young's

Hanging glacier off backside of Young's Peak, desire to drop off almost unbearable

"That's where I picked up a LOT of snow!"

Vacant hut, stop of coffee, ski the last 2000 feet of north facing powder back to trailhead, followed by swimming and more primo leftovers.

Third accent and loop tour of Young's Peak for me, each time is the same intense overwhelming, energizing experience.  This one was special b/c the forecast was for snow and rain to 2000 meters and we nearly just went home instead of coming to the Pass.  Weatherman botched the forecast, storm was a day late, allowing this bonus day to happen.
