Nice Pic

this might be a little early, but one of the things I wanted to do was ski down the north face of San G. Whats it like?

Re: Nice Pic

Conditions are everything for backcountry skiing...we had suncups, chicken heads and bad snow. I did not ski down because I did not think I was at that level, and conditions were way sketchy. The other 3 guys are the real deal, and they had their problems.
I did a run with one of the guys a week previous on a closed run a week or two earlier. The conditions were very similar to what was on San G that day. I barely got down, and fell once. So long story short, I did not ski down. And I am glad I didnt, those conditions were NOT epic, or fun looking. Check out this pic-
