Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Skiers on Muir

If anyone caught any photographs of the two skiers on Mt. Muir yesterday, May 7, (visible from Trail Crest and High Camp), I would be very interested in getting a copy...

Did they (you?) ski the East Couloir (North side of Muir)?

This is the only shot I got where you can see them (barely):

I've got a picture of 3 climbers taken about and hour or after Tracie's, but you'd be hard-pressed to tell if any had skis. PM me if you'd like a copy.

Okay, I noticed in another photo the skiers are up higher...



They are just to the right and slightly higher up.But you may want to check it out in original size and the link is here

We skied a route connecting the hanging snowfields on the southeast face to a hidden couloir directly on the east buttress.

It was a very interesting experience.

We would have been visible from Trail Crest or Trail Camp as dots on the diagonal snow (left-to-right) underneath Muir's summit.
