My Skiing
Have been skiing full seasons & touring for 3 years, avg of 20-40 touring days a winter. Avy2 Rec, Wilderness First Responder through NOLS for 7 years, leading trad 5.7 in Little Cottonwood / North Cascades & AI3 on glacial ice
Comfortable in Dawson's D7-8 range, D9 if conditions are favorable. Enjoyed lines so far are Silver Couloir on Buffalo Peak (CO) & Haiyaha Couloir in the Emerald Lake Drainage of RMNP. I prefer higher speeds in open terrain over tight trees, and snow with a base over bottomless pow. Corn > bottomless, 4in on a base > bottomless.
Skiing Goals include: Fuhrer Finger on Rainier, the Coleman-Deming on Baker, summit ski of Longs Peak via Keplinger's, the Skillet on Mount Moran, a variety of self-supported 2-4 day traverses in Colorado, putting together a Yellowstone backcountry basecamp week, and learning to enjoy that blind-ish, tight tree skiing on zero base that is our reality in CO for 70% of the winter
