Finals and moving made it pretty difficult to ski a bunch recently, but I’ve officially tagged my ski count from last season.
For the past couple weeks I’ve been trying to ski the pipeline couloir off Twin Peaks, but kept getting shut down by Snowbird Ski Patrol at the last second. After hiking Twins twice this weekend and not being allowed to ski Pipeline I did the only thing any reasonable person would do and decided to wait until next season for a shot at it hiked the 3,000+ vertical feet from Snowbird’s base during the week when they were shut down and patrol guidelines were no longer in effect.
There is more pictures and video but I’m too delirious and tired right now to upload them.
Center Chute wetslide, this definitely spooked Carston and I out on the hike up.
Oh Ullr, the snow is so mushy…Please remedy this immediately!
