This was so sick! This video is my first exposure to seeing someone climb up a mountain and then ski their way back down. What an insane sport! That had to be a ton of fun!!

[@midi510]

So much fun, and very rewarding, too. This was a three day trip, so it included the whole snow camping experience.

[@DamnAwesome]

Awesome! I could never do this, but you can, and that's awesome! Very beautiful scenery too!

[@kalimachios]

Beautiful ascent - really great couloir there ! Some nasty ice near the crux point - nicely passed, and the exit part pretty sick.. Crossing Goethe lake also quite enjoyable when frozen :) In the summer there is some seriously annoying talus around it to deal with ..

[@midi510]

Thanks for the compliment. Talus is one reason I'd rather travel on skis. I'll put up my descent of Thunderbolt Peak soon. That talus is horrendous dry.

[@juskojj]

that was awesome! looked pretty steep at portions as well. was it very technical or needing crampons?

[@midi510]

Technical enough to be fun without being scary, but not for too long. I would have liked a longer ice section. I used crampons for the whole face, but only really needed them in the throat.

@@midi510 awesome! How do you like the slingfin splitwing?

[@midi510]

@@juskojj It's great for a minimalist approach. If skiing, you have to take your poles during the day, but not big deal. I read someone writing with concern about the way the three zippers come together letting bugs in, but they seal up really well. The one thing I'd like to see is a bit of a tub lip in front as it's easy to knock dirt or snow into the tent. I don't usually use the vestibule, either. I have the Crossbow 2 winter version for a palace for one in full winter conditions. It's really good for 2 people also, and you can split the load. I want to get a Portal, so I can have exactly the tent for the job. I have nearly 20 packs.
