Nice pics D, thanks!

Isn't this the top of the Y chair though? I thought Z went over Claires (not 44) and had the chairs facing the other direction?

Y has never been open while I was there, do they run it very often?

I almost didn't post my question in case you purposely mislabeled it to keep people away. Sorry... 8)

they run it on weekends... mostly when either 44 of Purna are open...
Not so much last year...

But still.. It's a great old chair that services some great advance only terrain...

I want to ski Purna this year, I've never had the chance to make it over there when it's been open. I should be able to pull it off with the awesome snow year we're going to have this year!

i dont see how the breaks are going to disrupt the wind flow. but also dont know where the wind blows from but the seem a little on the low side. i wonder if the got fluid dynamics study done.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Glades/cliffs/tight trees - but with hiking involved... Best to skin.

Did Annapurna open at all last year? Hunter's best run by far, IMHO.

No i don't think it did...

It is a killer bump run...

It is, but also one with character.
