Mount Powell
Dates: April 5-6, 2025
County: Powell
Sweat Score: 6
Pucker Score: 7
Trip Report: A probable first descent of the obvious chute that allows those feeling bold to ski from the summit, West, to the base of the valley below. If this is not a first descent and you’ve skied it before, we owe you a beer. The approach and exit nearly cost the team a truck, a trailer, and an arm. While Ethan & Bowen down-climbed multiple pitches before putting on skis, Tim went “off belay” almost instantly and put together some of the steepest turns the rest of the team had ever seen.
