McMurdo Hut - Early Season Ski Touring

Heading out to McMurdo this year, it was either going to be all time deep pow or absolutely horrendous due to a recent rain event up to 2200m days before. What we encountered were some of the most challenging and terrible backcountry conditions I have ever skied, a disastrously messy hummus explosion and we almost ended up spending a night in the car in Kicking Horse Canyon. Despite the struggles, we had an excellent weekend with our new friends, ate lots of gourmet cheese and got to escape reality for a few days.
