A great day exploring my favorite basin with Matt Primomo, a Colorado Front Range Split Boarder, mountaineering guide and aspiring avalanche forecaster. We climbed to the western flanking ridge of Silver Creek basin and skied some awesome gullies and tree shots down into the bottom of silver creek. The best run was a 1,200 vert tree shot descending from alpine ridgetop, to mixed openly spaced Whitebark Pine and Subalpine Fir, down into dense Grand Fir and Engelman Spruce. The Silver creek ditch amazes me almost everytime I see it. Our predecessors went to alot of work to practically make water flow uphill from Silver creek in the Lostine Drainage, over into the Alder Slope Ditch. I look forward to exploring this basin more.
