Skiing "The Thumb"

Access from Brighton to "The Thumb" or "The Mitten" coulier* on the NE ridge of Mt Tuscarora is a relatively easy affair particularly when a season pass is in hand. Here, we decided not to ski the Seagull Coulier and opted for the more subdued and shorter coulier to the north. Both couliers drain into the east face with an easy skin back to the resort. Picture taken circa 1997. * "coulier" might be a stretch here... it is a short one that is more like an opening into the face.
