Backcountry Skiing Journal From:
Warpigsinfin: February 7, 2010 Uphill: 3,000 ft. | Downhill: 3,000 ft.
After a couple of days fighting THE SICKNESS I headed back to GTNP for a look around Shadow. The skin track is crusty and fast thanks to a few days of sun and a lot of traffic.
Heading up the summit knob I was amazed at the number of tracks down the little bowl there... it looked like something you'd see on the Pass or just OB at JHMR... it's good to see a lot of folks have been getting after it in the Park.
Sun-crustiness where affected but perfect sugary pow in the trees and shadier aspects. I skied my go-to lines down the NE Ridge and was amazed to find them relatively untouched... our group crossed 4 tracks during the entire descent. Good times.
