3-1-2011 Needle, Sliver, Coalpit, Y

Glad Jared hooked me up Chad for a little blind ski date. Lot of picture for the day, started with a pre-set booter in the Y.

Then a little traverse to the top of the Needle.

Down the Needle and over to the Sliver for a little skinning and steep booting.

Topping it out into the wind

Wish I had a before shot. We pulled a cord out and cut a large chuck of cornice off, pretty fun to watch it blow up.

After the cut

Steeper than it looks,

After the Sliver it was over to the top of the Coalpit Headwall.

This skiing followed by a short run left me STARVING!
