As a Point & Chute photographer, it was great to see some photos which do justice to the Y-Couloir. Part of what make it such great skiing (narrow, dark, steep) is what makes it so hard to capture with a camera. Hi Adam – thanks for the link and excellent photos.

I was the guy talking to you about the Needle at the bottom this morning. Feel free to check my blog at http://www.adambarkerphotography.com/blog/ for an account of the day's events. Good luck with the 10 in 10. Looks like some solid work so far. Andrew–

I wasn't thrilled on the Coalpit #4 approach, but it definitely is a nice finish, that is, if you aren't too toasted to enjoy it. Hi Derek – but, but, but… it looked so short and easy on a map!

But you like to suffer, so.....;) Nice work, glad you found it in good shape. Interesting way to get to Lone Peak………I prefer Big Willow from the church on Wasatch Blvd. Direct, safe, good trail.
