Guided a group from a base camp at Nirvana Pass March 18-23. We were the first group in there this season. We skied the Siva Glacier, Astarte Glacier, Septentrion Glacier, Vishnu Glacier-Byamee Loop and Juno Basin . Conditions were still winter-like with temperatures below freezing throughout the day and the coldest morning being -17C. Good powder skiing on most aspects. A storm mid-week brought 20cms of new snow with some wind resulting in a natural avalanche cycle on northerly aspects. Coverage seemed a bit lower than I remember in the past, and ridges and moraines were wind stripped. The height of snow at the pass was about 200cm and 250-280cm on sheltered areas of the glaciers.
A great week with a fun group in an amazing location.

We dug down to water in one of the tributaries of Colwell creek near our camp. Wolverines were everywhere, but left our camp alone.
