Re: Nice Days
Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing. Lucky you for getting to be there!

Re: Nice Days
Where was that? I can identify Eolus, Windom and Sunlight but nothing looks like Arrow or Vestal. Pigeon then couldn't be the peak to the left of the Chicago Basin peaks because it's also in front of them, and no vantage point seems to allow that.

Top of lift 8 at Purgatory. You can clearly see Pigeon/Turret/NEolus/Eolus.TravelingMatt wrote:Where was that? I can identify Eolus, Windom and Sunlight but nothing looks like Arrow or Vestal.

Re: Nice Days
Got it. You're looking into New York Basin. I look for the steep east face to identify Pigeon, but you can't see it from there. So this:

Re: Nice Days
I'm not so sure you can see Sunlight, but probably the Ruby Basin 13ers to the NE of Pigeon (maybe that's 13 sticking up?).
