A Proper Adventure in RMNP

Had a great time this past Saturday climbing and skiing 'Middle Couloir' above Sky Pond in RMNP. Couldn't find any beta on this one outside of a paragraph in a guide book, but had a great time exploring and figuring things out on our way up! The Couloir averages 44° down to the apron and we regularly measured snow angles at 55° - pretty steep by CO standards! We managed to time the line perfectly with slightly wind textured powder from top to bottom. It felt pretty good getting a line like this in perfect conditions given the year we've been having! It's not over yet!
