Dean Madley made this video about our trip to what our host John Housel calls "The Crowns of East Yellowstone." This place is truly special - all of the ski shots included here come from a single day.
The terrain is a skier’s paradise nestled some 15 miles into the Absaroka Wilderness on rough dirt roads. Neither the locked forest service gate 10 miles in, nor the four-foot-deep, fifty-foot-wide Sunlight creek slow our host down. He is sixty-seven-year-old John Housel. A Cody, Wyoming Native, John is a former Cody Circuit Court Judge, a practicing Attorney, and the owner of the old Winona Mining claim. He unlocks the gate and locks it behind us, then crosses the creek on his snow track equipped 4-wheeler.
Date: 7 May 2020 Objective: North Couloir Mount Morrison, Lost River Range I first laid eyes on this line in April of 2014 on my first attempt at skiing Mount Borah. Mount Morrison rises south of Chicken Out Ridge and is a proper looking line: true north, direct fall line, about 2500 feet. Dutifully, I took a picture, logged it, and vowed to return again to ski the damn thing. The Fateful Image: Mount Morrison's North Couloir Needless to say, I finally got around to it last week. The route was relatively familiar to me, for better or for worse. It’s nice to know an approach and the general heading; it’s less fortunate to know that it’s a heinous slog...
