Skiied the NW Couloir of Shuksan on Wednesday with Robert. Snow conditions weren't ideal but the snow was fairly stable.


The NF did not appear to have an enjoyable entrance. Windpacked with a little riming. Better down lower perhaps, but the entrance did not appear fun.

The weather window was pretty lucky with a marine layer en-clouding Shuksan both the day before and soon after we got down to the Creekbed.
