A few days before we had snowmobiled into the White River Campground before heading up the Wonderland trail to Sunrise visitor center. Starting at the visitor center we followed the summer road to the west before climbing up to Frozen Lake. Snowboarding west down into the upper basin of Berkeley Park we switched to skinning where we were able to gain the ridge via the lower Northeast slopes of the Second Burroughs. Being that it was holding powder the moment we got to the top we switched over and took a quick lap before climbing back up the ridge.

Being at the col between the Second the Third Burroughs we made our way west until arriving on the Third Burroughs Summit. Standing up top we rode down a northeast chute into the valley until it flattened out. By now the day was getting short so we started heading south up and over the col and back onto the summit of the Third Burrough. Dropping in we started heading south before the slope rolled over slowly heading skiers left and riding all the way down the main drainage until arriving on the Glacier Basin Trail. From here we followed the Trail down having to boot pack occasionally but it was a relatively easy descent all the way back to the White River Campground.
