Mount Shuksan

Skiing the North Face

July 14, 2007

This face, especially with such perfect conditions, reminds me of what I love about skiing. The scenery and exposure, combined with the steep but reasonable pitch, are magic. Add its propensity to be in good skiing condition all the way into July and it may be one of the most classic ski lines anywhere.
