TR: Not Skiing The North Face or NW Couloir of Mt. Shuksan

If you bail for the sake of safety and someone else uses your skintrack to ski the line you were going to ski and conditions turn out better than you thought–was it still the right decision?  At least we got to drive 6 hours on no sleep.  Win.

Crowns from 3 different avy cycles.

Looks good to me.

Consolation prize: perfect corn.

Our tracks not on the NW Couloir

The Hanging Glacier still hanging. White Salmon exit looks really bony after running in the last cycle.

Parks > Pow > Peaks…Piste?

Those photos are circa 2002, first 1080 at the Blackcomb park–could probably barely pull off a grab now, haha. More in to skiing peaks than parks these days and somewhere in between those two interests was sending big cliffs.  I guess in another 10 years I’ll be on the groomers with the other old people.
