Skifreenw: April 7, 2010 Uphill: 1,300 ft. | Downhill: 1,300 ft.
The long and short of this ascent was to skin in to the Fuji Shelter and descend through some tree runs about 600' down to a logging spur road that we had scoped out a few weeks before. While the climb up to the shelter was great, and the shelter is very hospitable, the skiing down did not live up to our hopes. There were a few re-prod patches that had enough snow/slope to ski, but were too thick, and the more mature timber stringers were to sparse on the white and fluffy. All in all, we came back down in our own tracks and enjoyed a workout, both ways.
