Vesper Peak, September 4th, 2011


Kevin and I in Wurtz Basin, walking up toward Headlee Pass


Looking down toward the mouth of Wurtz Basin.


From above the outlet of Lake Elan below Vesper. Vesper peak in the distance.


Looking down from just below the summit. We skied from here down to the top of the chutes to see if they connected to the lake. We then climbed back up to the summit for some lunch, lounging and refreshing beverages.


The hidden chute that connects the upper slopes to the skiing above the lake.


Morningstar Peak from the slopes above Lake Elan.


The outlet of the lake. We skied the chutes that connect the upper snowfield with those above the lake. The chute we took is hidden in this view.
