Boxing day was a clear, sunny day in Vancouver, albeit cool, and the previous day had dumped a fair amount of snow on the mountains. So, in the spirit of a lazy boxing day, Killaine and I headed up Hollyburn Peak (near Cypress) to ski the back side of it.
The ski up Hollyburn is incredibly popular amongst the snowshoeing crowd.
The recent snow was plastered all over the trees near the summit.
As I mentioned, the summit is very popular ... but (virtually) everyone stops here. Killaine & I dropped over the north side of the peak and skied the foot or so of fresh powder along the ridge that leads NE from the peak of Hollyburn, kind of up and above Tony Baker gully.
The runs were short, but the skiing was great, and it was a beautiful day - all in all, not bad for an afternoon powder run!
