i did this in the 90s with 210..with my 2 boys young teens they were..we came up from ADK lodge Marcy Dam then to the Pass..the snow at the Ranger Station was in the mid 50 inches...I have given the Angel Slides a eye to BC ski..a buddy and Idid Wrights Peak 1st week in feb that was great...thanks for the movie
ben, i usually wear a light tele set-up when I ski Avy Pass. Garmont Excursion boots and Madshus Epochs. You can use lighter equipment, with NNN backcountry bindings, but I like my tele setup so I can enjoy the descent from the pass more.

Great footage, especially the downhill section starting at 3:33
Brings back good memories from the 2 times I've done this run
Thanks for posting this Phil. Nice vid.
Avalanche Pass is the most spectacular tour route in the Adirondacks outside of peak skiing in my opinion.

Wow! I just got s bound fischer 98 skis. Would i get into trouble with nnn bc bindings and leather boots?
It depends on your skills. The pass can be skied with a NNN setup, but I prefer tele bindings.
I didn't know where this was until I saw the cliffs.
what kind skis/bindings/boots are you using?
thats different
Oh, and Targa bindings.
