AllYouCanEat Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Now this is more like it Leuthold's couloir, mount hood (just because I got it on a pow wow day) N. Portion Lyman glacier, mount adams NBC on Colchuck (has a bit of everything from the approach, to the couloir and face with a little rock at the end) Slot Couloir on snoqualmie (just because you can go get it whenever) NFNWR on Adams (hands down the best and that's all I'm gonna say) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philfort Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 -NFNWR, Adams (haven't done it yet, but everyone who has says its great) -Slot couloir, cool run for such easy access. -Boulder Glacier, Baker (or any route on Baker) -SW chutes on Adams, though it sucked when I did it -birthday tour, WA pass nothing very suprising here, but then again this is "must skis" (fun skis with relatively easy access), not "cool shit off the beaten path" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cman Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 Muir - every PNW skier has done it so that by default makes it a must ski, besides it is a fun ski during the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_a Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 in no particular order, my favorites that I've skied so far...plenty other 'must skis' that I just haven't gotten to yet. Watson's traverse- Baker (up the Coleman, down the Park, ski to Baker ski area) the most satisfying single day traverse I've done so far. Slot couloir Garibaldi- north side descent to Garibaldi lake Inter glacier- not the steepest, not remote, but its a summertime classic imho SW chutes Adams- again, not the steepest thing around, but just a fun continuous fall-line run If one considers the Selkirks as part of the PNW- then I gotta add, Pioneer Peak Granite Glacier descent in the Adamant range and Youngs Peak, Seven Steps of Paradise at Rogers Pass.

AllYouCanEat Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 I have changed my mind on one of my pics. Sky sent me a link of the northwest face of luna peak that we skied a few years ago. It brought back fond memories of a spectacular ski. http://www.pbase.com/nolock/image/35445008 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllYouCanEat Posted October 25, 2004 Share Posted October 25, 2004 Goat Rocks Here is a great couloir that you need to ski if you are up there. We'd been up in the goat rocks countless times and never noticed this nugget of gold. It was beautiful and actually had another dogleg that you can't see in the first pic. This couloir was a lot like slot couloir on snoqualmie for steepness and length. Pics by benman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaper_Jeffy Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 No one has mentioned the Hotlum/Wintun of Mt Shasta. The West Face of Shasta and the North face of Lassen are also classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 WTF IS NFNWR? drC You guys are so mean. I don't even ski, but I'll answer this: North Face NorthWest Ridge on Mt Adams. Nisqually Wildlife Refuge is better than the Nooksack anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
