Coated with tasty Utah powder, the narrow couloir below us was nothing less than a 2,000-vertical foot statement of nature's perfection. |
But at its narrowest the couloir is about two ski lengths wide. |
Bruce and the Gurkhas were below the rib, and could only see up the couloir. |
The party had gained a considerable height on the mountain when it became necessary to cross a couloir or gully filled with snow. |
About two hours after departing the lodge, the group reached the bottom and entered the west couloir. |
Soon after this we quitted our ridge and dropped into a couloir to the left of it. |
