Elvis's Crotch, Buffalo Mountain
Elvis's Crotch is a very seldomly ridden line that starts a little ways down Little Elvis and eventually joins into the Silver Couloir near its bottom. I had never heard of this line until Mike Bannister asked me if I wanted to join him. Of course I was game, and so after a quick meet at Blue Moon we were off to the TH. I didn't have my splitboard and left my snowshoes at my house so I ended up booting all the way up Buffalo. YeeHa. Also, my arcteryx jacket blew off my backpack on the way up...bummer. Other than that we made our way up and found the entrance into the couloir. It was very windy at the top and so we dropped in quickly. There were several chokes on this line which made it really fun. We eventually hit the exit choke and skiied the bottom of Silver all the way until we began our traverse back to the trailhead. |
