Had a great morning with friends Ryan and Andrew in K country climbing and skiing the beautifully sculpted north face of Mt. Chester. A classic steep descent in the Southern Divide.
A very striking and intimidating view of the face (from the road on the way home). The gully is the obvious shaded feature to the left of the summit.
Ryan AKA "bootpackin' machine" was the man this AM, putting in some serious time up front.
About to launch into the velvety turns.
What we found was mostly good snow with the odd small section of ice to keep it UFC . Here we see Terminator Wexler making it all come together in the deep, steep powder turns of the day.
A more true perspective on the face. This is one of the nicest lines I have had the chance to ski in K country. Thanks to the boys for a stellar day in the mountains. It is amazing that the conditions are so good right now as on the way out everything around looked skiable and still under the mask of winter. The ski season is alive and kicking for those with a penchant for early starts, copious amounts of coffee and a dream in the brain.
