That's the San Joaquin couloir. A beauty, eh?
Not the best in North America, but here is a nice pair in my neighborhood.

San Joaquin Chute... Classic! Unfortunately I was out of town for Andys memorial ski descent but I did ski K12 (Ophir to Telluride) last thursday and the corn was in perfect shape all the way to the bear creek boulder. Andy would have loved those buff conditions but coulda' handled crusty boilerplate on bump skis just as well!!! We'll miss you Andy!!

Per powstash corrected the Val Scura del Sassongher in Italy. Figured it was worthy of a X-post. 2500 meters of a line, 750m in the coulior.

Thanks, Dreaming. I had a flu for a week, and I was in such bad mental shape, couldn't figure out how to post, and did not have the energy to try again.
Bump, because this thread kicks ass
This line is fantastic.Quote:

Me and another attempted to ski the left branch off Ypsilon Mountain in the picture below last weekend but weren't successful. However, we did run into two guys on the hike out that dropped in from the top without first climbing up it which is something that wish they hadn't done.
Not sure if the right branch has been skied before. Estimates are that its over 60-degrees for the full 800 feet before ending above an ice fall that would obviously require a rappel. Timing has to be near-perfect considering runnel development and cornice breaking.

Maybe a stretch, but not my claim. But, perhaps you'll settle for [ame=http://www.tetongravity.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=124984]half the distance[/ame]Quote:

so i was reading through this thread looking at the photos when i saw the hypo one. "wow that looks almost as shitty as the day I skied it", i thought. Then I noticed that the jacket was a similar color as well, and that it was, in fact, a picture of me skiing it.Quote:

Wow, this thread brings back memories for sure. Bump it up!

Sorry if this is a repost, but I just scanned this entire thread and I'm pretty sure I didn't see mention of anything on Mt. Washington in N.H. Maybe not the BEST but I think things like Cathedral, Dodges, and Dutchess deserve at least a nod, not to mention the stuff in the GOS, GG, and beyond.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3132/...49881af3_o.jpg
Sorry, no offence to the fine technical skiers who have been putting Mt. Washington and related "Steeps of the East" on the thread, but ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! West of Ole Miss, that stuff is seen oh, about every 5 minutes on a jaunt around no fewer then 6 states and 3 provinces(ok, ones a territory)and that's just the foothills. Sorry, not. even. close. Pick up a coffee table book of the Rockies and actually look at the pictures. I mean, some of the best skiers/climbers in Europe have been moving here for 100 years. From the HOLY SHIT Alps. Ya, it's pretty gnar. Then again, some of the best skiers here are from the East, so whathefuckdoiknow:redface:
^^^^I agree...I think there needs to be at least some rock wall to call something a couloir.
Not too much better, but its all I have photos of- Star Mtn. CO
http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/w...e/CIMG1603.jpg
Here's one in CO. Figured this would have been mentioned. The North Couloir on Pacific Pk. Sometimes a huge scary cornice, sometimes pow, all in how you catch it. We skied it this last spring as part of a traverse.

I think it goes. Would be a long approach. Anyone know if it's been skied?
