Snowbird, UT, Report: The Taunting “Pipeline Couloir”

Report from Monday, May 23, 2022 High noon and hot, the corn window had just closed.  I was skiing heavy but exciting slush in Snowbird’s taunting Pipeline Couloir—a line everyone sees but almost nobody skis.  The top section was steep and got my blood pumping. My legs were already screaming a hundred feet down it.  Pipeline Couloir – Snowbird, UT […]
