Wanted to ski this one for a while. Such a pretty line. I have heard others say it is a let down in tightness and steepness, but for us not the case at all. I think since it was a low snow year the couloir was way more aesthetic and continuous than other pics on the web would show. As for steepness it isn't super steep, but some parts breached 45 degrees. And if there hadn't been remains of an old bootpack we probably would have wanted crampons.Snow was overall frozen crap with five turns of pow in there somewhere.
A couple ice bulges to get around on the way up to the entrance of the couloir.
