AM - Pipeline Couloir! Started from Snowbird base and hiked about 1200ft to the snow, skinned up to the base of the couloir, and bootpacked it up to the top. We decided to summit the West Twin which turned out to be sketchy. The ski down was super fun though - such an iconic line and the steepness (42 degrees) was definitely doable with the slushy conditions. A fun adventure with about 3500ft of vertical.
PM - Horsepark loops for 4 miles, 8:30 pace. Tired!
Week summary: Only ended up with about 17 miles of running in 4 days this past week but with 10,000ft of skinning/bootpacking/hiking with skis (~25 miles running equivalent). Work has been really busy and stressful recently, so all the time in the mountains has been much needed.
