Perhaps one of the best ski lines in the White Mountains, Landslide Gully is obvious from the parking area at Willey House. The path of the slide nearly touches the Saco River. It’s non existent approach and incredible skiing would make this a classic line, if not for the fact it almost never forms. Wind scouring and low elevation keep this, and all the other Webster Routes from forming as reliably as higher the elevation terrain. When it’s in, this is a real treat. Cross the bridge at Willey House and skin towards the obvious slide path, the line begins with a long boulder field that is hopefully somewhat covered by the time you’re thinking about skiing this. The boulders end and a long, remarkably smooth slab takes you to a set of ice bulges. These can be skirted to either side. The upper gully steepens and narrows a little more, and tends to hold more snow. In powdery conditions, you may want to bring ascent plates. The gully splits into two variations here, take the left variation here if you’re looking to access the legendary hallway, the right is a tight rock lined chute, but is more bushy. The left variation ascends for another couple hundred feet until it dead ends in the trees. An unlikely little slot up and right takes you into the beautiful hallways you’ve likely seen in photos. This high walled chute is barely a ski length across and requires precise hop turns. Drop in and make agile turns, trying not to bury a tip in the wall. Be sure to stop and look around plenty, this is a magical spot. Just as your hop turns muscles are starting to fade, the slot spits you back out into the main gully. Some more open turns lead you back to the junction with the right variation. Ski fall line until you are above the ice bulge, and skirt it to whichever side looks more negotiable. Ski the long and open runout back to the bridge at Willey. Look back and reflect on how much variety was packed into that single run!
