Re: Couloir season
According to other local skiers I’ve talked to about that Couloir, it goes. Good looking but not as steep as it looks. Stiff access.

Re: Couloir season
That's the one! Just looks like a really nice line, and apparently a pretty gnarly backpack in.

DIdn't mean to hijack the question right before me:
I don't know when it usually opens, but when I did Skywalker a few years ago on June 4, conditions in the couloir were perfect (Leia was in all the way - 1st week or two of June seems like the sweet spot conditions-wise) and the road was open and dry.

Re: Couloir season
Hi Everyone, I'm looking for someone to join me for the Dead Dog Couloir on Torreys. I don't have a set date but possibly targeting the weekend of 5/22. Message me if interested.
Brandon.
