Back-country skiing trips, page 1, sorted by recent popularity

I've decided to document a few of the backcountry lines on The Ridge at Bridger Bowl. The GPS track shows the hike up the Ridge starting atop the Bridger Lift, the hike along the Ridge out to and down into Hidden Couloir. From the base of the couloir proper the route follows a skiier's left travers into the Northwest Passage line followed by the descent through to the top of the Deer Park lift. This track...more

Couloir des Cosmiques

by jumpturn on Jan 21, 2010

Les Bossons, Rhône-Alpes, France
Back-country skiing | 5.4 miles

We were planning to hit Courmayeur as the skiers cleared, but they cleared in a snap, and so, Morgan and I were compelled by pow fever to ski the Couloir des Cosmiques yet again. You can do worse than run laps on this 2777m descent, and today, it was DEEP with 40cm of fresh at the Aiguille de Midi, and more in the couloir. The pow kept on coming until the tunnel,...more

This trip mostly aimed to ski the couloirs off the back side of Mont Fort at Verbier. Since it takes about 2.5 hours to do one loop, only two Mont Fort couloirs were skied, but another one on Atelas was skied at the end of the day.

Entrèves, Aosta Valley, Italy
Back-country skiing | 4.6 miles

Skied the Couloir Marbrées in Courmayeur with Morgan. Snow conditions turned out nicely powdery on the shaded aspects, and degenerated into crust and spring snow as we approached the bottom. The upper couloir had seen two tracks earlier in the morning but was loaded with new snow. Although we got there first, we choose to check out some other option to allow the 11 tourists and guides who followed us up to ski on top...more

Just follow the tracks up to...more

Skiing the Couloir des Cosmiques

by jumpturn on Jan 18, 2010

Les Bossons, Rhône-Alpes, France
Back-country skiing | 5.4 miles

Skied the Cosmiques again in very nice pow in perfect weather. I caught the second tram, had a coffee to give the pro skiers some time to test the line for avalanches (by charging and banging turns). Then, I dropped the slope of the arret and head over to the col des cosmiques at a leisurely tempo. While I was down climbing the upper couloir, a local extreme skier of 36-years and wife...more
