SKI: Mt Adams-SW Chutes

 

Date of Ski: 6/24/2005

 

Trip Report:

Skied the SW Chutes on Friday in top to bottom perfect corn. The snow ran out at 7000', but other then that, conditions couldn't have been any more perfect. Lou Dawson in Wild Snows says this about this descent, "Indeed, even if you're a skiing atheist, and you manage to carve turns down this amazing line, you might be convinced that, yes, there is a God - and yes, the Supreme Being must be a skier."

 

As expected there's not much snow at lower elevations, but up high it's really quite supringing how much snow there is.
