Mount Adams, South Side (ski)

Activity Notes

We're aiming to ascend the south side route and ski the SW Chutes. This is a non-technical climb, but folks should be competent skiers/riders in variable conditions. It's a fairly open run - not a chute per se - that descends for 4,000'+ at a consistent 35+ degree pitch. It's like it was made for skiing; it's a classic! 

Here's the equipment list: 

-Skis or splitty

-Climbing skins

-Transceiver/probe/shovel

-Boot crampons

-Ski crampons

-Alpine axe or whippet

-Helmet
