jordan Posted June 11, 2011 Report Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I just got back from skiing by far the most awesome (and exposed) line I have ever skied. I have also never skied a line that involved this much route finding to avoid skiing over a 100+ foot cliff. Some lines only come into the picture every few years. This is one of those lines. After about 600" of snow near Loveland pass this winter, the east face of Torrey's was filled in enough to ski this spring. I have never seen a line go on the east face all the way to the valley floor (except for the prominent dead dog couloir) since I have been living in Colorado. Me, Mike, and Conor set out to ski this line this morning. Gray's and Torrey's viewed from Steven's Gulch: After about a 2.5 hour hike, we reached the summit of Torrey's...Mike and Conor at the summit Skiing down...the snow was perfect corn except for close to the rocks where it was a little bit wetter than we would have liked. We were, however, able to adequately manage the sluff. Conor: Mike: Panoramic of Steven's Gulch: The line, for reference, the Dead Dog Couloir is the prominent line to the right of where we skied: Our route: Edited June 11, 2011 by jordan 3 Quote
