Skiing Centurion Mtn

We could hear the 212 helicopters from Adamant Lodge pounding the sky above us as we approached the Centurion Col. Instead of climbing up Bachelor Pass as indicated in Chic famous book "Summits and Icefields" we ascended the drainage further east and gained the pass directly. Nice route. Traverses are not famous for great skiing but we managed to get a good powder smile going on this one. We were a little surprised to see a skin track coming up from Moberly Pass gaining the peak. 100km from the nearest road and the run is still skied. Lots of room though for Dan to spread out and lay down the snowboard.
