Am I dumb? I feel like I can't match those two pictures.Quote:

And yeah, Lee I'm not seeing your pictures from the other post
I had the same thought, but I think they are just taken from very different angles and distance.Quote:

So much awesomeness in this thread.
Grand daddy seems to be the iconic one on bow peak but I've always considered the "funnel of death couloir" aesthetic perfection. Guessing it's pretty much 3000' to the fan. Always has a freight train of a cornice across the top of the funnel. Attachment 281615

I've always had a boner for the Chouinard in GTNP.

Last descent of Twisting Couloir has been done....a big portion of Joffre fell off last night. Attachment 282390

That’ll fill in with a couple cm
Lea - how does one get to Brunswick Cl in winter? I've done it a few times in the summer and I can image that last ridge is passable in winter - other than perhaps roped and walking on the cornice?
I came at it via the Lions Bay parking lot via Mt Harvey trail then over to Magnesia Meadows then exited out via Hat PeakQuote:

July 1st photo of a line off Mount Monolith in Tombstone Territorial park, Yukon. Certainly not the best and not all that long, but very aesthetic and located in a pretty unique place. I've seen a few reports of people skiing in there, so it's probably been skied.
BeautifulQuote:

I asked Dave and Reuben who went there to ski in Tombstone and it was thin even in a fat fat snow year. Tombstone generally gets very little snow Fwiw. But good memories of summer hiking there!Quote:

^^^ spicy!
Here's one of my favorites. Not really a couloir, more of a terrain feature of this particular part of the mountain:

Sweet distraction

Moar plzzz
I'm crrrrushing the Corona with majestic couloirs.

Here is a little gem. Not too much of a squeeze but a beautiful line nonetheless.

Probably not the "best", but certainly a classic - McGown in the Sawtooth Range. (I searched the thread and I don't think it's been posted yet).

Just my $.02, and we have nothing better to do these days than argue about fun couloirs :)Quote:

I'm sure not the raddest in NA, but pretty fun!
I have one or 2 that I've found.
I hesitate to post them because they haven't been skied yet.
But for the right person, I would share.
So fortunate that this is how I ended my season this year on March 5th. First ever trip to JHMR and the conditions made several laps in Granite canyon possible. A1, endless, and B chute, my first real supper long couloir skiing experience. Will return!!!Quote:

Here's a nice one (but maybe not best in NA) above Big Pine:
Attachment 323203
Gotta put Moran/Skillet up at the top, Red Slate Mountain, and Mendenhall Couloir.
Right you are, Meterman! And yours, If I remember right, is it the N. face of Birch?Quote:
