    Colchuck Peak, NBC with Z

    Managed to sneak up and down a classic alpine couloir before the return to powderland.


    Colchuck Peak, North Buttress Couloir


    Clear skies, good conditions, and a classic line - I was so stoked that I tried to ski on my head. Follow the link with the route photo for more words and pics.



    Good to ski with you, Z-.

    iskibc: Roger that. Yesterday morning we found the goods; this morning they had become nice and light:

    BenWA: Did you ski the face above the cooley? What time of year?

    Paul: I was just testing my theories about stopping on steeps sans whippets. I'm hoping to postpone my inevitable final accomplishment a good while yet.

    CF: Talk to Eric. He was drooling over CBR and snapping photos. But your gully looks good. Just go.
