Johnny Law Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Anyone ever ski it ? So I have a climbing trip to Katahdin coming up and wondered if you can actually ski it. I know there are touring routes but anything downhill ? I have done alot of the chocs, nearly all of the slides in the ADK book, Gothics, Marcy, and Mt. Washington and I'm out of ideas for our anual EC BC trip. Anything near Blue Mountain ? hehehe Quote
rgrwilco Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 you can definately ski some lines on the lower aspects. Quote
Johnny Law Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Posted February 26, 2008 I've heard that you need a permit to hike/ski Katahdin...I've seen pictures of the Knifes edge and it looks scary..some serious Wilderness up there. Yeah and you need to do it like six months in advance and have a group of four, we have all that and are ready to climb but I really want to find a way to ski from the top. Knifes edge is boney and somewhat dangerous but with some fill in and this week's storm putting down 16+ I hope skiing it can be accomplished. Icy would be an understatment so I think this may end up just being a climbing trip I don't like the decents that are mostly rapping with skis on. Quote
