Shad's Coulior

After descending Karla's Coulior, and getting out of the snow blasting wind, we got a look at some more couliors. Since it wasn't really even lunch time yet, we didn't feel right about leaving. So... we pick another one and headed up. Chuck leads the way of Shad's coulior.

Chuck marches foward, stomping in one fine boot track I might add!

Looking down the boot track at Karla, as she racks up some more vertical.

Chuck got tired of paving the road the whole time. Shad takes a turn. What's those thingers on his back?

Chuck makes his way to the summit of Shad's coulior.

Chuck on top!

Shad on top of his coulior. Silas Canyon in the background.

Tallulah gets to snooze in the snow for the first time. Dreaming of couliors to come, no doubt!

Looking down the gut of Shad's Coulior.

Bomb away! Shad let's it rip! Are those poles?

Yahooo!

Not bad! Soft sun crust, but very skiable!

One last look at Shad's Coulior.

Hmmm, only 1:15pm now. Wouldn't be right if Chuck didn't get a coulior too. We'd better get up another one before we call it a day. Wouldn't want to settle for just two couliors! Ha!
