I have to make at least 1 run on them. I'll bring my short 200 and 208's too. Originally Posted by thefortrees

Black ice on 35
I lost traction twice twice on the way home.
Be careful tomorrow, mags. It’s supposed to be colder. Roads will be icy.

18-19 Orygun, The Thread
Skied the Leuthold Couloir off the west face of Hood with two friends today. Such a fun line and a perfect snow/weather window. I’m back on my couch and still stoked - been waiting all season to hit this one in good conditions.
4am start from the climber’s lot
Short descent to the base of the couloir from Illumination Rock
Cool shadow of Hood on the foothills, taken from the base of the LC
Moving up the boot pack. Thanks to the group of climbers before us who broke trail
Looking down into the “hourglass” - narrow choke with shitty snow
Looking into the couloir from the top and ready to ski
Looking up at the first pitch. Punchy wind slab, hard to ski.
Trying to get a look into the second pitch
My buddy Carmen negotiating the choke. Firm snow with sastrugi here, but it turns into good pow right after this
Survival skiing is over, so Alec opens it up to make his mark on the mediocre conditions in the apron.
our tracks in zee powdah
Looking back at part of our line once we were back on Illumination - you can see our tracks photo center where the shadows end
View of our tracks on the apron
Single digit temps in the shade, too warm in the sun. Grabbing some food before the fun hot pow turns back to the car. Palmer was a blast today - lots of soft untracked snow and minimal wind effect.

Nice work 4trees, was up that a couple months back without skis. It was by no means skiable at the time and seemed highly condition dependent if you do decide to ski it. Glad it worked out
