Colchuck North Butress Coulior

Headed out from a friends cabin outside of Leavenworth planning on meeting at Bridge Creek at 4am. Got message that i was going to be solo and so i decided to stick with the plan and sled in to the trailhead and make my way to Colchuck to ski the NBC and possibly the ENBC after if feeling good...
Ran into 2 climbers cold and still in their tent at 7ish and then made my way up the the base of NBC.
The ski down was great!
I headed up colchuck glacier to the col and then made my way to the summit.
After looking in at ENBC and seeing the tracks from John and Will I saw it was not too difficult to enter, but decided that I was fatigued at that point and some hippie powder was a safer call at. The glacier had some of the pest pow i had had in weeks.
Great day!
