A Collection of Couloirs

Vanping in Ophir, hanging with Kevin and Todd, and skiing right from our backyard lead to an amazing week in the San Juan’s. We spent a few days exploring the lengthly expanse of Yellow Mtn. and its endless couloir lines!

Palomino Pt. - 13,045'

"Gatsby" Couloir

The week prior when we ski'd "orphan boy" Col, i couldn't stop looking at Palomino Pt to the south across the drainage. I took way to many photos of it:) With several north facing chutes marking the north face of the pk it just was begging to be ski'd. The prominent snowfield to couloir lookers right of the summit spire became our goal the following week.....And It was Money! an absolute awesome climb, summit and ski! Unforgettable day for sure!

By no means is "Gatsby" a recognized name...when we ski'd Keller Mtn the week prior the line caught my attention, so we made plans to ski it the following week. I kept seeing an image of a face when i glanced at the peak. Then i put my finger on it... the great gatsby eyes/face... go google it and see if you can see it:)
