Yesterday, we went for a fun chute after scaring ourselves a bit on Tuesday’s very steep “Pete’s Dream.” Wineglass Couloir is 2,800 vertical feet! It also isn’t freezing at night, so Wineglass Couloir’s NW aspect was perfect. This line […] Trip Report Miles Clark | May 19, 2023 0 Comments
Trip Report: 12,048′ Tuck No – La Sal Mountains, UT Report from Tuesday, May 16, 2023 12,400′ Mount Tukuhnikivatz, A Fifty Classic Ski Descent, has a little sister right next door that ain’t so little. Her name is Tuck No and she’s arguably just as goodโif not betterโthan the classic around the corner. Steep, jagged, and avalanche-prone, she’s not a mountain to be messed with at any time of […] Trip Report Martin Kuprianowicz | May 17, 2023 0 Comments
