Kinky Kouloir

The youngsters, Rob and Rylan, left the hut at 5:30 a.m. on the day we were to fly out at 9 so that they could ski a radical line that was not too far away. They did it in superb style, returning to the hut by 8:10. We were impressed. The route in question is the prominent dog-leg line off the cliffs between North Star Pass and Gwendolyn. Here is a photo (by Rob Nachtwey) that shows all of the couloir except the start area, which is behind the sunny rocks at the top of the ridge.
