We're planning on skiing Isolation this weekend. I'm aware of the various bushwhacks and their relatively open nature, both in terms of bald spots and open glades. If possible, we're going to shortcut. Seems to me the following shortcuts are possible:
1) contour-3080' cutoff bypassing Engine Hill (called "D" on Roy's page)
2) up the NW Branch Rocky Branch to Davis Path (called "E" on Roy's page)
OR
3) up the Isolation/Davis col (called "F" on Roy's page)
Given that skiing is a key part of the objective (Iso will be 47 of the ski-48!), I'm thinking 1 and 2 are feasible, but 3 sounds like a rather thick and steep bushwhack. Anyone have any insight into the skiability of these bushwhack segments? Worst case scenario, we'll take the trail the whole way...
