Trip: Sargent's Mtn slackcountry, N of Brundage, Idaho - North Bowl steep stuff

 

Date: 2/17/2008

 

Trip Report:

Brundage isn't known for steep skiing, but a 30 minute semi-leisurely skin climb to the North from the top of the Bluebird lift brings one to Sargent's, a wonderful local hangout with 35 to 45 degree North bowl pitches that hold nice snow even a week after a storm. It wasn't waist deep like two weeks ago, but then again I wouldn't have skied these lines then. Note the optional avy chute with a 1000' of drop on the way back to the car.

Picasa page with pics. Some ski area pics mixed in, just skip them.

Gear Notes:

My new bright yellow Hagen superlights and Dynafits are easy to find when I loose them in the faceplant. 60 weight sunscreen came in handy.

 

Approach Notes:

Drive to Brundage, buy a ticket, ride the Bluebird chair, skin up and head North. Take a map.
