DAY 7 - Ladies Last Chance
DAY 8 - Big Easy and Home

Day 7 - Friday After a couple of glorious sun filled days, the snow moved back in again.  Larry, John B and Ena decided to join Jesse and Christine for a trip back down the valley into a different tree run. Ena ran into some bad luck on the way down through the crust in the trees. What Ena hoped was just a sprained ankle turned out to be a broken fibula once x-rayed in Calgary.

Barb, John D, Steve, Joanne, Roy and Carol spent the day skiing the slopes below Ladies Last Chance. Visibility was a challenge on the open slopes but in the trees it was superb. It turned out to be a fabulous day of skiing.

This is actually a shot of John skiing on the Big Easy but from here you get a good view of the trees we were skiing below Ladies Last Chance.

Due to stormy weather, there weren't any photos taken on the actual day.

 
DAY 8 - The Big Easy

Today is our fly out day so after quickly cleaning up the lodge and packing our gear, we were ready to head to the Big Easy for the last few runs of the week.

Heading to the Big Easy.

Look mom, only one ski!
If it had to happen it couldn't have happened on a better day. I broke a binding which only cost me one run. It was a thigh burning ski down on one ski.
