Billy Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Climb: Broken Top- South Sister SE Aspect- Date of Climb: 11/23/2005 Trip Report: Yesterday Richard Pumpington and I decided to go deep in the Three Sisters and ski the SE aspect of South Sister down to Green Lakes. Its a great line, and I have been wanting to get on it for a long time. Unfortunately, its a long way from anywhere when the conditions are good. We thought we might find some good condtions and we were right. It was a perfect spring day, with some good corn and some variable stuff but it was all skiable. We approached from Broken Top Bowl and skied around the west side of Broken Top at about 7900'. It was a great ski down into Green Lakes and and an even better ski on the SE aspect of South, with a 2200' foot run from where we stopped. Richard gettin jiggy with early season conditions on the West side of Broken Top The arrow marks the top of our run. Richard enjoying the great run down with BT in the background Gear Notes: ski crampons would have been great Approach Notes: Long, 10.5 hours car to car. Sled would be really helpful. Almost 24 miles of skiiing round trip, with 6400 of elevation gain and loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
