With the ski areas closing and the snow fast disappearing from the high peaks, what’s a famous internet skier to do? There’s still some good snow for the taking in the northern mountains, but for those of us stuck in the Upper Valley region it’s a long drive and approach for only a few turns.

Sometimes, despite one’s eagerness to find that gnar line that no one else is even thinking about, you must content yourself with a good old fashioned corn snow harvest on a well known route. To make what is becoming a long story short, we poked around the general vicinity of Mt. Adams IV over a week ago hoping to ski these three lines… and whatever else we found along the way.
