NORTH SISTER
NORTH SISTER
Kindly said North Sister is a teetering pile of crap. However it does have some fun skiing on it when conditions permit. At very least, winter is the best time of year to climb it as the snow and ice act as a glue to hold it together. The steep eastern faces offer some potential couloirs to ski when they are not blue ice. Other flanks of the mountain offers some skiing also but the approach can be quite long for the effort.
