Corbins Pass

One of the larger issues surrounding my goal is to figure out how to balance friends and goals. Because one of the best parts about ski touring is the friends you share these days with. So how do I accomplish my selfish goal while still enjoying days with buddies.

Today I started off the day touring and socializing, we toured to the top of the ridge and dropped down the North Side, Skiing through the fantastic burnt trees that stand back there. Realising, that they were only going to be able to tour one more run, I decided I would lap on more 1300 foot run down the backside. Then I would play catch up and meet them at the top of Helens. I managed the extra lap and then we all skied down together and enjoyed a fantastic avalanche path. When we met up with our skin track they continued down and I turned my skins upward and toured up 3300ft. 10 480 ft of great skiing and then directly home. 94 days to go…
