As the snow melts in the Wasatch I sit here thinking about the great season we were blessed with. This tour was one of the high points of the season. We had a melt freeze cycle which consolidated the snowpack and allowed us to ski some burly lines not usually skiable during the middle of winter. The line Derek, Drew and I chose to ski is the Southwest facing colouir coming off Sunrise Peak which sits between the Twins and Dromedary. We accessed this line by climbing up Tanners and traversing on the knife edged ridge over to Sunrise. Scary exposure, 50 foot rappels, corn and powder skiing. All in all a great day out in the Wasatch.

Now we get to ski, me making a turn.

Can you find me, looking like an ant?
The Crux of the line…
Almost down to the bottom after a few thousand vert of skiing the Y-Couloir greets us from across the road.
