I’ve been eyeing up this SE face of Terminal South Peak for a couple years now. At first, it was just something that looked sweet and would be cool to ski maybe. Last year I got out and got a picture of it and finally understood how technical it could be. Then this year I’m chasing the technical side of skiing more than ever, so once it seemed it would be filled in, I sent it.<\/p>\n

I woke up Monday morning hungover like a horse, so Luke and I decided to sleep in and finally ski Forever Young, as neither of us had skied it yet. On the way up, I decided I had to go inspect Terminal Peak though, so Luke headed up the Illecillewaet while I headed up past Perley Rock to the rim of the glacier. It looked gnarly, with a long traverse across a big cliff required on the way up and two technical chokes, but it looked to be in incredible condition, I intended to ski it the following day. I scooted across the glacier toward Luke and we headed down Forever Young. However, on the descent I broke the third heel post on my Dynafits. Something was clearly wrong for this to continue happening, but it meant I wouldn’t get my rock bashing skis back together in time for the following day, so I did Swiss North on my light skis instead.<\/p>\n
