That looks rather intense! DHS and I were observing a line on Sat about halfway up lookers right of DJ's. Unsure if that gets skied or how one would access?
One section was like an open cliff another was a tighter tree shot

Somebody....some day....

The picture with this post is not showing up, but my brother-in-law ice climbs that area so skiing it might not be feasible.

Edit: I highlighted the area where he ice climbs

Pictures of his ice climbing there

This is the video I was thinking. The second descent.


Ok, I see no fun in that! Hop turn..stop, hop turn..stop,, side slide mostly, fall on your side and slide etc. - that is not skiing that is scaling a cliff/steep with skis on and hoping to god you do not fall!

Plus he'll probably burn in hell for shooting that video in portrait mode so it doesn't seem worth it.

Sounds like my first descent down Satan's stairway...

What a day! Every hour was better than the previous. Pretty much zero visibility up top. But the stuff I couldn't see underfoot felt soft and fluffy. By far my best day on skis this season (have had some better on the board)

Ouch - that hurt! We planned on being there but got hand cuffed by my 19 yr old. Apparently, he took my pass and went skiing with my 12 yr old at Cannon while I was at work. In doing so, left the pass in my wife's car and my 12 yr old's pass and gear. He stayed at a friends house and did not answer his phone until 11:30 am. I have been a bear all day. Now I am sad!
