4th Steep Gully

After a really good session skiing the classic Pali terrain, Kay and I had an excellent ski in the 4th Steep Gully todayThe approach ski down Upper Castor was fun and in good shape. We entered at the Steep Gullies 3-8 gate. The 4th is directly in front of skiers at that point. As is typical, the entry is pretty rocky and takes some tip toe-ing. Once in the chute proper, the snow was great with a little soft powder remaining. The narrow cliff walls add to the adventure. At the bottom of the chute we traversed to Rendezvous Point and enjoyed a 20 minute hike back to the bottom of Pali Lift.

You just don't get experiences like this at many places.
