Epic day touring yesterday... Secret Stash South (for the love of the game I can't help myself Charlie).  Great to meet you... Amar and Elliott!  I trust your day was awesome as well!

Well-played; nifty tracks, thanks for the stoke!

One of the finest continuously steepish lines close to Paradise, that 'secret' was shown to me by an oldtimer back in the 70's and I passed the favor on to Ron J & Mad Dog in the 90's.  The long steep snow ridge from the summit down to the lake to the E of your line was also sometimes done back then, but not by me    ;)

Yep!  I'm one of the oldtimers now.  Takes a lot of stable snow to ski that line and yesterday was it.

It's not a secret if you post pictures.
