Friday was great, we planned for a pow filled tightly walled line, as we knew visibility could be a challenge as the several day storm system finally crawled away from the state. The climb was pleasant and the snow remained cool and dry. Clouds collected at only the highest elevations, but thinned as we descended the pow filled col. One of the more aesthetic lines we have ski’d for sure! A beauty!
Torreys Pk. - "Dead Dog" Couloir
We nailed this one! Untouched, untracked and pristine. We hoped the large east face of Torreys would provide shelter from the days strong west winds… and it sure did… strong winds all morning until we got the the base of the face. We also had intermittent cloud coverage most of the day keeping the snow in the col cold and dry!
