    Be careful about buying snowboard goggles for skiing. Snowboard goggles come in right eye and left eye (for goofy-footers) dominant models. This can make it hard to see correctly when skiing because you are facing straight down the hill, not sideways.

    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.

    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.

    There's no f-ing way that's 60 degrees for over 800 feet. Simply not possible in colorado. Especially for all 800 feet. Try again.

    How certain are you about that? Not doubting... hoping you're right.
    My wife's family has property on Finley Point. Could prove to be a point of origin for tactical strikes in the Mission Mountains.

    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.


    cool shot, never saw that one before
    Fun times in the mountains
