Three Fingers Ski Descent, Washington

Post by DonJuanPakistan »

Slept at snowline a mile shy of the trailhead on the Tupso Pass Road.
Left at around 530am, and took our sweet ass time, taking pictures, long lunch, getting slightly lost, making coffee. Finally, 12 hours later we arrived at the summit of the south peak of Three Fingers. I literally thought I was going to vomit with the combination of exposure and exhaustion we had at the top.
We skied a few small lines off the summit as the sun sat, and then settled into the hut for a warm meal and cozy sleep.
In the morning we slowly brewed up and made water and eventually dropped a direct line off the summit down into the glacier below. Powder, ice, crust and corn composed an extremely aesthetic ski descent.
The exit took hours, but was lovely.
Probably the most beautiful trip of my life, so I left the camera. Instead I offer you google images.

I fed your TR into my patented SkiSickness TR distiller for all of our semi-literate followers and it returned this:

"shy sweet ass vomit exposure exhaustion warm cozy slowly brewed extremely aesthetic exit took hours, but was lovely most beautiful trip of my life"

I like it.

Awesome! Man, that was a great ski. Would love to see more pics of your trip. Cool to see a pic of the line. We didn't get to see a thing when we did it, but that's probably a good thing. LOL.
