So my good friend Craig and his wife invited my wife and I out to Mammoth to spend a 4 day weekend. I have never skied the Sierra mountains and was stoked to go. We had planned on going to Bloody mountain, but had no Idea on how much snow had melted off the 4x4 road and with multiple reports on Tioga being so good we decided to head out that way. Our plans were to ski a couloir just off the road called chute out. As we started to skin up I quickly realized that putting my crampons on and just booting up would be way better than trying to skin.
