    looks like the down certainly made the up worthwhile

    Yeah, the ascent is great, along a ridge for most of the way with stunning views of some big Tetons.

    Great Video! By the way, have you ever skied Turkey Chute? Is the entrance shown in your video. Everytime I have been up to 25 short it is in a snowstorm. I skied the line once before but I couldn't find it if my life depended on it...By the way, the Voiles are nice...I ski the Insanes!

    Yeah, Turkey Chute is a great north facing chute, it was windhammered on Tues. The entrance is at one of the the first major notch's you get to on the ridge going south from the top of 25 short. Pretty much still a little down climb into it due to rocks at the top. Love the Voiles, short fat and light.

    Pretty good ski, the views of the better descents abound. We skied it in 5 hrs car to car from Taggert Lake. You could also approach from Death Canyon TH and ski Maverick out.
