Hoodoo Bowl and North Chute Skiing
I had the chance to ski last Monday but after hearing about the fatal slide on Torreys and 4 other incidents that friends got into I chickened out. I decided to fix my band saw and do some work in the garage. 2 feet of new I thought should have some time to relax. The weather was looking good to get some thing done towards the end of the week and I thought perhaps a little warm up and cool down was in order. A few trips prior we got shut down do to rapid warming and approaching storms so West Dyer was high on my list. A few days later I got turned around after skiing Prospect Mtn. That was due to grauple. I figured combining the 2 north facing lines and doing a car shuttle would be a great way to go. Nate, Rob and myself met the famous Stan Wagon in Leadville and dropped off a car at the Mosquito Pass snow line. We then headed to the Iowa Gulch trailhead and got ready.... more words and pics at makingturns.com West Sheridan North Chute West Dyer Hoodoo Bowl
