I'll submit Shit For Brains Couloir, near A Basin CO for review, if it hasn't already.
Here's my offering. I've looked at it, dreamed about it, waited for a window, haven't hit it, would love to be first (but I wouldn't be crushed if someone got there first). Me and a buddy have temporarily named it super-couloir, however not official as it ain't been rid.

i am thinking it must be in canada because everything there is measured in meters which as you all know is 3 times bigger then a foot.
Scheelite or Messner? Both are stated as roughly 6,000 vertical from what I could find. Or maybe something else in AK...?Quote:

From John Scurlock's treasure chest
I wish skiing coulior's was in vogue for ski porn these days.
You been making your own ski porn for a while now. ;) But if you really need more check out Ausralias with Davenport. Just watched again. Awesome.Quote:

Not the best, but great couloirs ... with a different perspective because many of them have been mentioned before:

This thread is getting me seriously pumped for the season. Great pics! Thanks everyone. Have not skied a lot of couloirs but I have bagged a couple beauties in the Smithers area (ice cooler, Maya's couloir). There's just something about couloirs. I'll put up pictures of the above mentioned couloirs when I get a chance.

looking forward to skiing some chutes and gullies with ya this winter.

Points North, Cordova, AK. From left to right: Coogan's, Oz and Sweetleaf. Did the two on the right; Oz, 3000 vert, clean fall line, super fun. That was a great day!
Oz is great and on my list!Quote:

Reading this thread, it's interesting to see the different varieties of couloirs. Intricate, twisting doglegs, arrow-straight drops, couloirs that are more ramp-y than anything else... Anyway, they're all fun. Best? I don't know, but this was my favorite last season, mostly because I've looked at it so long, and it's been a tough one to get.
