A view from Telluride.
Looking up Gilpin's south face couloir. This has been skied by PI at a minimum, "Chapelle Couloir". On this day in early April, the snow was peppered full of rocks that had fallen, which would have made skiing it almost impossible.
Looking down north face of Emma and the ski line from the summit. At 630am on a windy, 5degree morn it was a steep sheet of sheer granular ice and soft windslab pockets. Being north-facing, late morning would nail it in the spring.
