Trip: Broken Top - Various - circumnav, 9 o'clock Couloir

 

Date: 3/19/2010

 

Trip Report:

Billy and I had a smashing time covering some terrain on Broken Top. While the snowpack is lower than normal, there's still plenty out there high up.

 

Can you tell where the wilderness boundary is?

We first headed up the east ridge to ski a cool ramp on the east side.

We skied north to the ridge between Broken Hand and BT, and skied a great chute down and over to the north side.

Great skiing to be had here on the north side.

Looking down into 9 o'clock. The snow conditions were pretty miserable in here, a little refrozen and chunky.

The view across. The snow is much better in the sun!
