elevator shaft

The taunting line.  The one that's easy to find but hairy to get into and usually rocky once you are there.  The one I've shown to guests and eyed at least 50 times but never skied.

It went down today.   I didn't take a picture in the white-out that was the Cirque Traverse today.  I dropped in the easy way, but the snow in the chute was creamy, buttery, wind-blown March powder.  Shea followed.  I left him some untracked lines.

A few hours later we came back for seconds.

It was so filled in, I'm not sure it counts.  We should probably check it out again tomorrow.

Mach Schnell, end of the day
Same spot, looking downhill...
