“Ski off the summit of "America's mountain" and descend almost 3,000 vertical feet to treeline.”
— Chris Dickson
Need to Know
Description
Once you drop off the summit, the angle gets less and less steep as you descend the face, picking your way down the gully. On a good snow day, this would afford some excellent skiing. However, due its aspect, this line gets baked by the sun and rots out early in the spring.
