SkiSickness

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.


Slugging my way up the couloir.


Got Andy breaking trail for me.


This line is something else.


Summit or plummet!


Ante up, Andy up.


Ski from summit.


Short ski rappel.


His first time!


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


Not Andean goodness, but Andy on goodness.


Don't stop, get it get it!


The apron glacier was also quite nice.

Copious pow and sluff dodgeball


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

What no huck onto the 55º!

NIce TR!

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.

Like the photo called "duffy". Sweet.
