Replying to Am I about to do something stupid
Me and my dad have planned on skiing james peak for a while, and it just so happens that we get a blessed storm cycle beforehand and nearly no wind and bluebird when we plan to go. This got me wondering whether I should go for Shooting Star couloir. Its a 50-60 degree pitch and a "you fall you die" situation but the conditions are sooo perfect and I wanna do it. I've done couloirs with similar pitch but never this high consequence. You can see this coulior from the top of eldora so I could flex on everyone on the lift with me. Also, would it be worth it to bring an ice pick for self arrest or is it too steep for that.? someone console me
