The Nipple, "B-Cup Chute" July 2, 2017
I returned to the "B-Cup Chute" with my friend MJ since it skied so well four days earlier (and Blue Lakes Road was still closed at the fourth gate.)
MJ in front of a triple waterfall on our approach.
We started with a few warm-up runs on the upper ridge.
MJ starts on the upper ridge...
Stev on the upper ridge.

Stev slarving down our exit path, which also seemed to be an avalanche path based on bent and cleared trees along with areas of debris-like snow.
It was well worth a return trip to this magical place.
