I skied the actual couloir kind of poorly; far too much upper body movement. This was probably as cautiously as I have skied anything in a while, and I guess all thoughts of trying to actually ski well went out the window. Even so, it was an incredible adventure, and quite possibly the neatest line I have ever skied. Hopefully I will get a chance to ski it again some day (and ski it better). Super extra special thanks to PeakRankings for the amazing trip! It was a phenomenal week!
Was there at snowbird last week on that same day, remember it being crazy icy from the freeze thaw. Props on you for skiing that in less than ideal conditions!
@@thekingmoss honestly the snow in the couloir was very nice chalk, by far the best snow on the mountain. I guess lack of skiers, higher elevation, and a good exposure angle all played a role
@@DaleySpamWhat’s funny is if someone did it would become a thing. People are a lot like sheep. I would definitely want some form of crampon, ice ax or at least a whippet on my poles. You did a very nice job and skied it well. Thanks for taking us along.
Dude you killed it, that was actually insane. Every time I watch a Pipeline video, I always shit my pants watching people down climb that first section. Such a aesthetic couloir, definitely on the bucket list for someday!
Nice! Hope its open for you. Hike took about 45 minutes at a not-too-fast pace. It’s not as long as it looks. Just be warned, the hike down into the top of the couloir is quite sketchy
Dude, I ski tour a lot. I've boot-packed plenty of times. And I've hiked those peaks in the summer from that spot more times than I can count. I cannot possibly imagine how tough that boot-pack is. My legs would be crushed. Then you have to ski a gnarly line like that. Well done.
Thanks! The bootpack was actually not as difficult as it looked, I was prepared to be wiped out but felt fine at the top. It’s that down climb from the top into the couloir entrance that’s really sketchy!
@@DaleySpam Killer line. My son and I have done the Milly boot-pack and skied Elevator Chute a few times. It's shorter and just a bit less vert, but a cool line. I'd like to try Pipeline at some point.
@@DaleySpam ah dang that's too bad, shot 22 is so sick. I didn't realize until after how lucky I was to be there when the ridge was open. I get so spoiled at Bridger where the entire mountain is open 99% of the time
used this as reference to ski pipeline when in town this past week. thank you! we all just downclimbed from the peak to the top of the line, with crampons and ax made it much easier, and some people were just skiing over those rocks, which seemed a bit risky as they went flying pretty fast haha. thank you!!!
This is a crazy down climb and a crazy overall traverse man. Props for sticking it thru. I was looking at this chute yesterday from Peruvian and after the storm it was buttery smooth
