Alternate plan works for me
After a sweet tour the day before on Red Cone and Handcart I headed up to the campsite on Zuma Road and got some rest. I got a text that there was a big rock slide on Highway 6 between Keystone and A-Basin. Well I guess I needed to figure out another plan. I was thinking that the North Face of Grizzly and Dave's Wave was what I was going to do but with no access I needed something else. So I called Scott and we changed the plan to Baldy over in Breckenridge. We met in the morning and headed to Breck. The Boreas Pass Road is still closed so we had a long walk to Bakers Tank and the skinned up through the trees to the South Ridge. From there we hugged a gully and booted up nice snow and hopped talus. At the summit we sized up the North Chute. I dropped in and skied it non stop. At the bottom I set up for pictures. Scott got it non stop as well. The timing on the line was perfect and the corn was super sweet...
