The climbing route known as the Cooper Spur is a consistent 50 degree climb several thousand feet of cliff exposure on both sides. In order to ski this line properly, we had to take a variation of the climbing route that put us out onto several 55+ degree pitches of skiing.
This was truly exciting no fall zone skiing. After each series of jump turns, we would regroup on the ridge and smile in disbelief of the amazing conditions we were skiing. The Cooper Spur was genuinely amazing. It opened up our eyes to a new understanding of what volcano skiing has to offer. This was a great way to start summer on the day after the solstice.
