Video of the trip here.
For those that can't wait to see what we skied, here you go. For this one I was actually taking a picture of my favorite peak, Fissile, but there's Decker in the foreground. Of course Jen caught some air!
We headed out fairly early with a plan to ski either Trorey or Pattison but Decker was looking mighty fine, and the clouds were rolling in as we headed down toward the lake. We could see Jen's tracks from the day before and they were still the only ones in the line on the left, so we chose to ski that one first. I've been eyeing that one for a while and it didn't disappoint.

The snow was fast and smooth and a lot of fun to ski. We had originally planned to head home after the first line because we were both exhausted from skiing all week, but it was too good. We headed back up the long way (the wrong way) and skinned up forever to ski the line on the right. It ended up being worth it though, as proven by the POV footage that Jen and I took.
On the skin up we had the chance to check out the view and suss out some lines on other peaks, and we'll hopefully have some more trip reports for you soon.
