Misc. Picts. from 2003

 

Dale Peak Ridge Tour

Start at Little Mountain Pass at the top of Immigration Canyon and make like the Mormons. Or you can ski along the high ridge to the west till it plummets to the valley floor.

Highly not reccommended. Up there on the scrub scale. Borrow your friends skis for the trek, and a machete while you're at it. There's a good reason sane people just don't ski here....

 

Makin turns foothill-slalom style.
The last point on the ridge before you pick your poison and descend to the valley.
 

 

 

the south face of Ben Lomond

Like Mnt. Superior but without the boaring parts.

red marks the freaks up and down route on the first reconnasiance

Here's the view from below the ice wall, like Mnt. Superior but it goes straight to the valley floor

 



Huntsman Hill

Two small canyons south of Immigration Canyon, Huntsman Hill provides 1000 vert of suprisingly steep foothill skiing.

Huntsman Hill as seen from the east. The steep north east gulley, hidden from view in the valley, is visible from this perspective.
The loop is merely a suggestion that would obviously require previous consent to tresspass in Huntsman's private canyon.
Sign off before dropping in.
Take time to watch the sun set before you enter the twilight bushwacking hell at the bottom.

 

 

 

Stay tuned for the freakiestness to come!
