    "Uh, I forgot my skins". Fortunately there was a solid overnight freeze so I could make my way towards this line without post-holing. There were 5 of us, so we broke off into 2 teams. A team of 3 skied the looker's right couloir, through a cool arch feature at the bottom. The team of 2 skied a couloir on looker's left, which would send slough into the righthand couloir! And what are big lines without big publicity? Our shredding was viewed firsthand by a stream of people heading out on a more popular tour.

    Props to making the best of the no-skin situation! Sounds like the effort was well worth it -  a true crowd pleaser!
