Feb 23, 2008, Lichtenberg S. Face gully

I finally got around to riding the face that stares at you from across the street at Yodelin.  Kinda hard to miss.  This is a pretty nice run of about 2400 ft or so.  Lots of debris in there, but it was soft and fun.  We went down a little before noon, might have been a little better a little earlier.  It felt very, very safe at that hour.  The corn was a little slow, or maybe that's just due to the cold wax left on my board. 



On the approach, skinning the upper steep part of the SW slope was a little tricky.  We booted, which was fine, but I'd occasionally bust through deep on the lower part.  Noticed that some of the big NE-facing cornices on the ridge were starting to pull away.

It's always fun to knock something on your 'list' off, not matter how trivial.  Now I can move on, until I decide I absolutely have to do it in powder!  ;D  Thanks to Alex, who came along.



Can't complain about the access!


Hope everyone enjoys the sunshine.  I'm ready for some powder, though.
