I attempted Resplendent Mountain with one client and a Practicum March 26 to
29th. We did the long approach from the parking lot to Berg Lake. I May
consider a helicopter in the future. We skied all the way to 2600 meters and
we stopped due to weather moving in and the ceiling dropping down lo. At 5:00
a.m when started was a beautiful morning . The snowpack consisted of anywhere
from 100 cm at the toe of the glacier to 250-275 cm up higher where we stopped.
The skiing quality was excellent (boot top powder). The temperatures ranged
from-15C to -3C depending on your elevation and time of day. I noticed couple
fractures on solar Aspects that were a few days old, other than that no other
avalanches.
