With the recent prolonged high pressure, I’ve been itching to get back out to Gothic. After skiing it a couple of weeks ago, it quickly became one of my most favorite peaks to ski. The possibilities of lines to ski off this peak seem almost endless. And the views cannot be beat. As appealing as Gothic is to look at, it’s even more fun to climb and ski.<\/p>\n

This time I coaxed Tom into coming with me. We began our day shortly after 7 am from the Washington Gulch trailhead. Instead of using sleds like Frank and I did a couple of weeks ago , we opted to skin to the base of the mountain.<\/p>\n

We took turns leading on the bootpack. We were surprised that no one else had made it up there in the last few days, as we were setting the bootpack ourselves.

Of course, the scenery on the summit was once again spectacular.

We skied close to where Frank and I had skied two weeks before- a chute on the west side. This one was slightly north of our previous descent.<\/p>\n
