Green Chasm

A high walled, aesthetic gem of a line. This route is incredibly ephemeral, which is unfortunate because it’s such a cool ski! Follow the approach from Willey House to Central Couloir, and climb most of the way up, where Central breaks left into the deep couloir, break right into the obvious chasm. This is not particularly steep, and bushes and rocks often obstruct parts of the line, but the setting makes up for it. Bootpack to the base of the ice climbing, and dig out a spot for your skis here. Drop in and enjoy tight turns in this wild chasm. A small chockstone sometimes requires removing the skis for. Ski out of the rock walls and either traverse right to join Central, or milk the independent line further down into the trees to join Central lower. Ski out the bottom of Central and retrace your steps to Willey House.
