We skied the Box Creek Couloirs by first ascending the East Ridge Route. The trail is snow-covered after a mile or so you'll need skis or snowshoes on it later in the day when it softens. We put on skis/skins at 11,500' and skinned most of the remaining ridge to the summit. There were a couple of long, dry patches but mostly snow-covered. The Box Creek couloirs have very good coverage and we were able to ski back to the 12,400-foot saddle on the east ridge. We then walked east over the point to find continuous snow on the NE side of the ridge. We were then able to ski back down to 11,200' before intersecting the trail and walking down.
