Overview

Great line off a Colorado 14er

Description

Standard Colorado coulier skiing. Read CAIC and be prepared. After the coulier you can either continue down Clohesy lake or you can climb back up and ski down the Huron Peak Ascent. If you have two cars, my favorite way to ski this line is to park one car on the dirt road to Clohesy before the river crossing, then drive one car as far up the Huron Peak Ascent road as possible, skin to the summit, ski this line, ride the apron/glades down to Clohesy lake, cross the lake, and then descent the dirt road back to the river crossing where your car is parked and enjoy a victory beer. Awesome line and adventure I highly recommend it.

Great adventure with Lucas. Glad to get the tick after failing miserably last time due to bad logistics.
