April 8th...winter snow conditions and a longish sled ride to access it.

I can't really see boot pack tracks in your photo? Did you go up the hiking trail? Must've been quite the trip skiing the rollover at the top having not gone up it first?

Mt French- hole in the wall/french finger

Newton Clark Headwall, not quite a couloir but almost, and a classic!





Tallboy Couloir, great shot of me almost tomahawking the first turn after the choke. Not a place you'd really wanna fall and glad I recovered.





Yo Mama - on the hitlist for next year

Narao Peak- lieutenants left- i think ut was 2800ft w the fan? Fan is actually a fair bit less than the couloir. Weird perspective w the pic

High traffic these days- every attempt I couldn’t ski it. To many Mec”ers trying to side slip down it realizing its way over there skills. Skied climbers left- possible double hole in wall with ropes and ninja skills. We just went fall-line, drank brews at bottom and contemplated calling rescue on the group stuck in the classic that clearly had little ski skills....

Went for the waterman twice. Both times there was a big ice patch at the top. Ended up skiing the Y couloir the first time and north col the next time. Waterman(not sure if thats the spelling)i think is the most aesthetic and remains on the list. Y on the left and waterman on the right
view from north col ascent

Not my pic but shows all 3 well

Haven't skied any of 'em, but damn, check out this lineup. Mt. Baxter (southern Sierra), north side, which I admired during a crest tour that came out via Sawmill Pass.

Purdy. Looks like you’d need to camp there for a week to get in as much skiing as you want

Nice place to set up camp for a week

Leuthold's, such an aesthetic line. Surrounded by massive rime formations on the way up, a hell of a view from the top for sunrise, tight choke, onto 1500ft+ of powdery apron bliss








That fuckin apron man...



Looking back on our exit, not the best quality

[grinch]

Massive snow ghosts. Conditions look prime!

Nah we Bootpacked the whole thing. Would be sweet to get it in full winter conditions but was nice to be able to drive right in. scramble route looked honestly more difficult to get up then just kicking steps in a straight line for a couple hours.

This is a summer pic but these must still be in good shape now? All 3 have 2000ft above the shrund. Mt Lefroy above the death trap. 2am start. 5600ft above the lake

Epic thread, perfect for hot humid dayze on the river plain. Thanks, all.

This pic of Steve Romeo in the chouinard couloir is one of my favorites of all time. Look at that slab he triggered on lookers right of the choke

tetonat.com is a lifetime of stoke if you’re ever looking for a reason to procrastinate. RIP Steve, thanks for the pics and the motivation!

Repeating the Morning coffee routine. Red sentinel couloir, great N facing pow line.

Approaching from the backside, East hourglass couloir is the obvious line right of the summit in the background.


Lil bit of spice on the entrance



Opens up into some cold ripping pow
