Great Ski TourExcellent ski run. Did this on "skinny" tele skis, by modern standards. Went up the east ridge, then came down a short way to finish on the north slope.

Always FunSkied this face in 07' and 09', will always be fun in my mind since you can usually ski back to the car.

East RidgeFirst 14er summit ski descent! Unfortunately there was a section in the middle the snow was blown clear and I had to walk through the rocks, so not a continuous descent to the car. Some great turns right near treeline.
