We are just back from skiing another beautiful Idaho mountain, Kent Peak. Viewed frequently from the Valley of the Big Wood, Kent Peak requires a bit of an approach to reach the classic ski lines. As the snow lines march up the mountains with the rising temperatures, the dirt roads are opening up and allowing access deeper into the hills. Even with the open roads, Kent requires a bit of dirt walking to reach snow. But once on snow, a classic 3,000′ ski descent off the 2nd highest peak in the Boulder Mountains awaits. Good corn conditions were found. Enjoy!
It is taking some effort to reach the snow these days
Summer is beginning to show
A smile will go a long way when bushwacking with skis!
Where the snow turns to water…
Where skiers become skiers
ahhh, back in the alpine!
The summit ridge of Kent is rather sharp…
Looking north into the Boulder Mountains
Looking south into the Pioneers
