Lamoille Canyon, June 20, 2017

Our original plan was to ski a dusk patrol mission on June 19th with our friend Curtis.
However, when we made it to road’s end we were met by a downpour. We would set out again the next morning.

That evening’s sunset shows why this range is called the Ruby Mountains.

Spence stepping up on the approach.

Spence starts down smoothly…

…carves and continues down…

…and continues to carve more creamed corn snow…

A quick selfie before starting my run. Spence’s tracks and our bootpack can be seen below.

Stev continues down…

…slarves and sprays the creamed corn snow…

…and skis down toward the canyon…

A panoramic view looking up from halfway down our run. We started below the notch/saddle on upper looker’s left.

Stev further down our run…

…navigating a gully with branches slalom on the lower portion of our run…

…and nearing the end of our run next to flowing water…

Our run provided us with around 1,000 feet of vertical pleasure. Lamoille Canyon is definitely on the to-do again list.
