"Rain Peak" - East Ridge Ski Descent
Distance: 11.77 miles
Elevation Gain: 4382'
Time: 6:35 up, 2:38 down
Date: 4/30/2017
Partner: Arthur Smith
Graupel Gully had about three feet of wind-loaded snow, so we decided to play it safe and descend the east ridge which had a breakable wind crust above treeline and a breakable sun crust below treeline. Coverage was mostly good until about 10,200'.
