I little morning ski with Adam was just what I wanted today. I made it about 3/4 the way up Suicide chute when I realized I didn't have my beacon, stupid. After a quick ski down I rejoined Adam as we wallowed through the last few hundred feet.

| Adam, thigh deep. It got deeper. |
Getting around the cornice turned out to be a little harder/sketchier than expected. We finally decided to "chimney" up with some rock on the right and icy cornice on the left. I was pretty steep and the whole time we were blasted in the face with spin drift. I got pretty nauseous from the cold, I guess I'm not used to high wind and spindrift to the face.

| Adam, laughing? |
The ski down Homicide was great for the upper 2/3 and then turned into debris.
