Last Thursday I went out by myself and finally skied the South Couloir on Shadow Peak. This couloir has been my nemesis for the last two years. I have tried to ski it three times before and had been shut down by poor conditions and not knowing exactly where it was. Finally, on my fourth trip up there to ski it, I was successful. Because we access this couloir from the top, rather than climbing the couloir before skiing it, we were never quite sure where to start the route because the top of it is obscured by some trees. This last time when I started to ski down into the trees, I was 99% sure that I was in the right place. The couloir was not too steep or narrow and was quite fun and enjoyable to ski. I wish I had a picture of the couloir from the top of 25 Short, because it gives a great view of the route.
