High Sierra Skiing

Here are a few photos from my recent trip to the Eastern Sierra. My friend Kellie and I spent about 5 days skiing steep couloirs in the Palisades area. Below are the Underhill Couloirs...short but steep. Below are U-Notch and V-Notch couloirs, both had good firm but carvable snow...

Below is Kellie skiing thunderbolt couloir...A bergschrund with the left Underhill couloir in the backround...
Mount Agassiz...we skied the line from the snowy shoulder left of the summit.
Kellie entering the right Underhill couloir...pretty steep!
