"Rain Peak"

"Rain Peak" - East Ridge Ski Descent

Distance: 11.77 miles

Elevation Gain: 4382'

Time: 6:35 up, 2:38 down

Date: 4/30/2017

Partner: Arthur Smith

Graupel Gully had about three feet of wind-loaded snow, so we decided to play it safe and descend the east ridge which had a breakable wind crust above treeline and a breakable sun crust below treeline.  Coverage was mostly good until about 10,200'.
