Silverheels West Ridge - skiable?
Just wondering if Mt. Silverheels's western slopes are skiable right now. If not, I'll ski the north face but would rather not have to trek out of the basin afterwards
Re: Silverheels West Ridge - skiable?
Was up there a few weeks ago and skied the north face. It was pretty windblown on Silverheels and the west face did not appear skiable. Let me know if you want photos or more detail and can update tomorrow

I'd love to see some photos, thanks!

From this past Saturday looking at Silverheels north face from Hoosier Ridge. Seriously doubt the west ridge (right skyline) is skiable.

Yep, that picture pretty much sums it up. We skied one of the far right gullys closer to the western slopes.
