That's Joffre Couloir, not the Central Couloir. A day's diversion with Andy "Alcatraz" Traslin. Good thing that happens sometimes with coastal snowpacks: midwinter go-time.

The one on the left.

Roped over the bergschrund.
Image

Slugging my way up the couloir.
Image

Got Andy breaking trail for me.
Image

This line is something else.
Image

Summit or plummet!
Image

Ante up, Andy up.
Image

Ski from summit.
Image

Short ski rappel.
Image

His first time!
Image

A little bit of a rappel, a lot of shred.
Image

Not Andean goodness, but Andy on goodness.
Image

Don't stop, get it get it!
Image

The apron glacier was also quite nice.

Duffey
Image

Copious pow and sluff dodgeball
Image

Huh Uh!? I would like to give thanks to all irresponsible parties.

Hey jumpturn,

Andy and I did discuss such things! This line is skiable sans rappel, but I'd rather wait until maximum snowpack for minimum shenanigans and the purest possible ski descent. I'm just anal like that.
