SW Aspect of Invisible mountain into Closed Canyon

Looking Westish. The top of Macaleb is in the upper right

2/3 up the ascent gully.

Start of descent gully. All of Mackay is visible in the valley. With the wind picking up and clouds forming, I passed on the summit in favor of skiing fine velvet over boiler plate.

Ascent marked in red, descent at green arrow
These routes lie between 8,500 and 11,000 feet on the South West Aspect of Invisible mountain. I had actually meant to ski the thin line leading into my ascent gully, oops!

The route as seen from town the day after I skied it. Overnight a spring storm had left a dusting and dropped temps back to below freezing soli. Pardon the low quality IPod photos.

Wired!

Dare to roast yer own! All aboard the tasting train!

Matt Johnson behind the lens. Thanks for these awesome shots and for showing me this great zone! After opening up the first third of the run, I pulled over while Matt shredded the entire run continuously. I then glissed the rest of the run quickly, noting a peculiar sensation beneath my feet as I habitually cut out of a terrain trap at high speed near the bottom of the run. The crown was maybe 8-12 inches at best trending to only a few inches over the course of about 7 meters. The slab consisted of only soft new wind deposit, thus the lovely velvety massage feeling beneath my feet.
