ALBRIGHT PEAK / WIMPY'S KNOB
ALBRIGHT PEAK / WIMPY'S KNOB
Albright Peak is one of the Famous three, the other two being Mavericks and Twenty Five Short. Albright has steep skiing on continuous flanks that rise steeply from the valley floor. It requires a several mile flat skin in from the Death Canyon Road Closure. But once you are there, it is well worth it. Out of the famous three, Albright has probably the most exposure to avalanche terrain, especially the final ramp to the summit. Most people will top out on Wimpy's Knob, which is several hundred feet below the summit and is a safe alternative when the avalanche danger is too high.

The views are amazing from either topping out point.
