My Skiing
Have been skiing full seasons & touring since 2019, avg of 20-40 touring days a winter. Avy2 Rec, Wilderness First Responder through NOLS since 2014, leading trad 5.7 in Little Cottonwood / North Cascades / Eldorado Canyon & WI3-4
Comfortable in Dawson's D7-8 range, D9 if conditions are favorable. Notable lines include Silver Couloir on Buffalo Peak (CO), Emperor Face of Torreys Peak, 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, Cold Fusion on Timp, putting together a Yellowstone backcountry basecamp week
