Fresh Tracks left after lengthy hike (well worth it)

Walking from the new Symphony Express at Whistler mountain you can access Flute Bowl which is a nice bowl that has Blue, Black and Double Black terrain for people of all abilities. When I got to the top of Flute bowl I could help but trek over from the top of Flute bowl to the next bowl, or ridge. It was quite a trek on top of the length trek over to Flute bowl but offered more fresh powder, and new lines that now one had yet conquered. There weren't many people in this area, but I was able to follow some already made tracks through the deep snow which made the Climb a little bit easier, and put some ease on my mind that someone else had been here before and made it back.. haha. Along the way up to Flute bowl and than over to the next ridge there are spectacular views of Garibaldi national park. The only down side is that the trail on the way out of the area is ridiculously long, it would not be so bad for skiers to take, but is hell for snowboarders, as there are many locations where you have to unbuckle yourself and walk. Takes a long time but would be a good adventure to take with a small group of people, and a good idea to bring a lunch in your bag to have at the end of the trek before you make the descent.
