Wilson Peak

One call the night before was all it took to motivate an early morning approach on Wilson Peak.

Just enough light to hike without a headlamp

Two small groups of Telluride locals converged on the summit of Wilson Peak for one fine day of steep spring skiing. Perfect snow and ideal weather allowed for a rather peaceful assault on the steeps of Wilson Peak's north face

The variation of the usual route (what we think Davenport skied?) looked a little easier from across the valley. Regardless it didn't take much convincing to get Garan to explore this route with me.

Close to 3000 vert of steep pow skiing! led to some gloppy corn on the traverse out. Was lots a fun in the sun.
