whipple couloir part 1
March 24, 2009
Set out solo last week into an area I’ve rarely travelled in search of a chute that has intrigued me for years.
- The trail shoes came in handy for almost 2K of travel.
The thrill of exploring new terrain is one of my favorite aspects of BC skiing.
It also surprises me how all this hiking doesn't get easier. Still sweating balls!
The mountains are full of moments like this.
The proper gear.
After 2hrs and 4K I finally popped out onto the ridge and was blessed by some great views.
Spring travel can make for challenging travel conditions. Don't forget the globstopper.
More new views of some old friends.
It may be about the journey, not the destination. But, I was pretty excited to finally arrive and peek down this beauty.
Unfortunately I had taken a very circuitous route and it was too late in the day to safely ski this line. I’ll be back, stay tuned for part 2 later this week.
