MOUNT THIELSEN
MOUNT THIELSEN
Mount Thielsen is Oregon's own Matterhorn. Minus the rock quality! It offers many exciting ski objectives, most lie on the northwest and southwest faces. The obscure ridges of Mount Thielsen also offer some great skiing potential. The best lines are a couloir on the southwest face just below the summit and the far skiers right side of the northwest bowl. From the summit one can see Mount Shasta, Crater Lake, Mount Bailey, Diamond Peak, The Three Sisters, and others depending on the visibility. Usually the summit Pinnacle won't hold snow to make a true summit descent, but this is still a great objective if you are in the area.
