Day 26 | Hiked Flute

Went riding with Irish and we hiked Flute.  That was the plan.  Well, the plan was to hike it twice but we only hiked it once.  We uploaded on the Creekside gondi around 10am and headed straight to Symphony.  The weather was cloudy with very flat light.  The mountain itself was very busy.  Last day of the holidays.

We got to the bottom of the Flute hike around 11:30am and it probably took me about a half hour to hike up (and that includes stopping to take pics).  We dropped down into Flute Bowl and the snow was wind blown and chunky.  We traversed across to North Flute Bowl and dropped down into some trees.  We managed to find some untouched powder in the trees that was soft but it was a short run.  The snow conditions didn't warrant a second hike up so we spent the next couple hours in Symphony.  Around 2:30pm we made our way to the Roundhouse via Pika's Traverse and headed in for lunch.  We finished the day with a ride back down to Creekside.
