Nice shots. You can see tracks going into the NW Couloir too.
I think those dots on top of the North Face are Pat and I. We took a couple turns into the north face and found wind affected snow that appeared to persist for at least the first third of the line. We aborted and dropped in on the NW Couloir and found plenty of fresh tracks (despite several parties skiing it before us) and awesome snow!
The traverse was hard underneath but there was a track already in place that made it a breeze.

Yep. I'm claiming it, all tracks are mine!
Hey, these are awesome!
I think you can see Eric and I in the NWC in the first shot. I'm directly below the traverse cliff, and he's a couple hundred feet down on the skiers right side of the snowfield. The shadows seem to match up with my pictures.
our perspective
Pretty ideal conditions on Saturday, too bad it couldn't stay that way... Anyone get a final count of how many people skied it? I counted at least 8 including us.
