Oboe Creek via Flute Cruiser January 20th 2023 Quick and dirty Whistler slack jaunt with a late start, didn’t get to the backcountry gate until 12:30pm. Snow quality was great, even with a fair bit of tracks in, there was still plenty of fresh turns to be had. Stability felt strong underfoot on the down and the up. We did a quick but still thorough profile as per the snowpack tab.
