Photo Archive: Mountaineer’s Route

Brian — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:29:39 +0000

Added photos from a 03/03/2010 ski descent of the Mountaineer’s Route on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. This route drops directly off the summit of Mount Webster and I’ve heard it called the Mountaineer’s Route. I’ve always looked up when driving through Crawford Notch and wondered if it would ever get enough snow to ski. A big snow storm with east winds answered that question.

Photo Archive: Shoestring Gully

Brian — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 13:17:37 +0000

Added photos from a 03/05/2010 climb and ski descent of Shoestring Gully on Mount Webster in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire. Jim Surette and I were able to ski the entire route without rappelling (had to ski around one ice bulge) due to recent storms (w/ east winds) that loaded the gully with deep snow.

I just added a section to the website called the Archive. It’s a searchable database of photos where you can select your choices and save them in a “lightbox”. The first set of photos was from 03/16/2010 sunrise shoot of Mount Washington from Wildcat Ski Area.

Central Couloir

With over a foot of snow in the mountains and winds well over 100mph on Mount Washington, it seems like winter has finally arrived in NH. The above photo was taken on March 3, 2008.

Diagonal

Ryman McLane telemark skiing a steep gully near Tuckerman Ravine on Mount Washington. I’ve heard this gully called either Diagonal or Stovepipe and it’s located skier’s right of Dodge’s Drop. Whatever you want to call it, Diagonal or Stovepipe is steep and not often in good condition.

Pinball Alley

I’m not sure if this drainage has been skied before? It probably has, but it’s fun to check out unknown terrain. Photo is from February 24, 2009 and shows Ryman McLane telemark skiing a narrow/rocky drainage in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
