I'll submit Shit For Brains Couloir, near A Basin CO for review, if it hasn't already.
Behold my fluffy goodness, you bastard.

Here's my offering. I've looked at it, dreamed about it, waited for a window, haven't hit it, would love to be first (but I wouldn't be crushed if someone got there first). Me and a buddy have temporarily named it super-couloir, however not official as it ain't been rid.

Yeah, we all know it. It is sort of ridiculous how much there is up here that hasn't been done. I keep telling you fuckers, get up here... Originally Posted by RaisingArizona

Looks sick but BC already has a Super Couloir, hopefully naming motivation comes after you ski it. Originally Posted by garyfromterrace

sooo the question i have for all you folks: what is the longest couloir in north merica????
i am thinking it must be in canada because everything there is measured in meters which as you all know is 3 times bigger then a foot.

Scheelite or Messner? Both are stated as roughly 6,000 vertical from what I could find. Or maybe something else in AK...? Originally Posted by gimpy

If it's doable I might be into a road trip this winter.

Not the best, but great couloirs ... with a different perspective because many of them have been mentioned before:
Bloody
Red Slate (top right), North Peak (center middle though not over 1500'), Emerson (bottom middle)

This thread is getting me seriously pumped for the season. Great pics! Thanks everyone. Have not skied a lot of couloirs but I have bagged a couple beauties in the Smithers area (ice cooler, Maya's couloir). There's just something about couloirs. I'll put up pictures of the above mentioned couloirs when I get a chance.

looking forward to skiing some chutes and gullies with ya this winter.

Points North, Cordova, AK. From left to right: Coogan's, Oz and Sweetleaf. Did the two on the right; Oz, 3000 vert, clean fall line, super fun. That was a great day!

Reading this thread, it's interesting to see the different varieties of couloirs. Intricate, twisting doglegs, arrow-straight drops, couloirs that are more ramp-y than anything else... Anyway, they're all fun. Best? I don't know, but this was my favorite last season, mostly because I've looked at it so long, and it's been a tough one to get.
