Mt. Tallac N Bowl

View Album

Kevin, my dad and I hit the trail before sunrise (5am) with the intent of easing our ascent on a frozen snowpack. Our route up was from spring creek road to the south ridge. Read full post...

We reached the summit by noon and started looking at different descent options (there are a lot). After scoping out the cross--which looked serious but good--we decided on the north bowl.

The descent was perfect. About 3500 vertical feet in perfect powder, constant sluffs on the steeper slopes but a generally stable snowpack. The top of the bowl is wide open and drops you onto another slope with light tree coverage. At the bottom of the bowl, we stayed to our left on the ridge and finished only minutes from the car.
