Mount Shuksan North Face

In retrospect this was probably kind of burly for me at the time, but I’m super thankful for the receptive partners and the proper conditions to ski a line of this caliber with no drama.

The core theme for today: the upper mountain is always socked in


Getting up looker’s right on Shuksan up the White Salmon Glacier


Sefrit to Nooksack Ridge - not the greatest views today




Surprised we can even see Baker in these conditions


The pointy summit of Mount Shuksan


Edge of the world feeling as we start assessing and descending the north face


Photo credit to Tim of me skiing. Only posting to show how surreal the sluffing was going down - definitely one of the core memories imprinted on my mind from this outing.




Looking back up the Hanging Glacier


Looking back at the mountain with the summit still shrouded


Notes

  • This was probably ~11 miles and ~6600 feet of vertical gain in 8 ½ hours.
