Skiing The Cross - My Childhood Couloir

- I traveled down to Ouray, Colorado to visit my mom and went up to ski one of the first couloirs that I skied in high school. It was one of the first climbs where I needed to use crampons and was the beginning of my love for ski mountaineering. I like to go back every summer to ski it, as it holds snow the longest of all the couloirs up there.
That was insane!! You made going down this 50 deg steep hard packed couloir look effortless when it is SO DARN hard to do! Amazing! 😯
thanks! Always looks mellower on video too, so had to stop and measure it
Just wonderful, you are a wonderful man
Great vid as usual. Brilliant drone shots. Enjoyed the drive up part too.
Thanks
Now that's what I call a spectacular training ground!
Whoa, this is insane. Driving through the stream on the way up, crossing that sketchy snow bridge and then skiing over it later, skiing that rock section at the top at 50+ degrees, the drone shots. Legendary video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice move over that skinny snow bridge! Sketch! Glad you are out safe! Nice work. Nice drone capture as well.
Thanks, 50/50 the bridge was going to collapse, but figured i would be on the other side even if it did.
well. I'll be adding this one to the hit list. thanks for the insight ace
Lovely summer ride, narration and shots. The last corridor part was epic!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So jealous! I'm heading out to O Leep territory in Feb, can't wait!
You are so cool dude! l mean that seriously because you seem very laid back but also a go getter! thanks for the vids!
I appreciate that!
Extra likes for home state adventures ;)
Hard to beat home runs
Thanks!
You should come over to Big Mountain. Take the safe way down that thing. I would too.
That was awesome!
Thank you!
As my family and I were driving up that morning, I was wondering who the wild man in the red jeep was.
haha, hope i didn't pass you going too fast
Cool, for the angle, is that an app you dowloaded or just the built in measure tool? btw, great skiing and great drone shots!
an app i found called clinometer
@@O_leeps Thanks!
Nice!
which kind of helmet do you wear?
I like your pre-op routine 😂
haha, had to get a couple last turns in
Amazing is this Ouray Colorad?

Pretty sure it's US Mountain just behind Ouray, CO.
Rad!
Going to extremes for some turns!

@ 4:36 -- It looks like you left your gloves on top :)
😀👍
Yankee Boy?
Suppose that snowbridge had failed on the way up or the way down. I don't think you even entertained an alternate plan for the ascend or The Descent.
haha, of course i did, been doing this for 25 years
