Early Season Skiing

A few random images from the last couple months. The 3 photos below are from New Year's Day, when Ryan Campbell, Sherry Soltis and I climbed and skied the north couloir on King Mountain. It was cold, about -10F and very windy at the top...



A few days before that, Gabe Lydek and I skied a new couloir on Castle Mountain after booting up the standard Castle Couloir. It was steep and technical with interesting route finding...
