SHADOW PEAK TETONS (CENTRAL) | WYOMING | UNITED STATES
Summary | Elevation: 9,980 ft
SHADOW PEAK
The Lower North Side is very cliffy but you can find some amazing pillow lines and couloirs if you are careful. The upper north side has some fantastic tree skiing but it is fairly steep. The west side has one couloir that takes you to the base of the Sliver Couloir on Nez Perce. There are many interesting chutes on the south side, not all go through so be careful.
Shadow Peak offers skiers a good alternative to Twenty Five short and is accessed by the same parking lot. However tight trees and the potential to get cliffed out make it worthwhile only after you know where you are going.
