Looking for a partner to hit up Banana Couloir on Sunday. I've been up Ross Pass four or five times and summited the peak once in summer. I'm a good snowboarder of 20 years but probably qualify as a newbie in the backcountry.

My guess is the ascent is going to require an ice axe and obviously a strong set of lungs. I recommend we ascend (yellow) climbers-left of the couloir (to minimize avalanche exposure), find the couloir from above and descend via the couloir (red).

Dude check out some epics outside of stowe! way more sickter and up yer ally brah

Sure thing, Bozemanass, will do!

hope you were able to hit it up. Not to sound like a dick but Ive heard more than a couple buddies tell me it is kinda a let down. i don't have have internet anymore but if I had seen this you coulda tagged along with us to southwest couloir on sat.

Hope you got after it samh. Beautiful day in the Bridgers today.

Boznative, good to see you're still alive and kickin'. My offer still stands!

Thanks for the replies, y'all. I went up to Bridger Bowl on Saturday and the snow had the perfect density to make for a pretty epic day. Good regular in-bounds riding as well as two spectacular Ridge laps (both North and South).

I've been fighting a cold and since I didn't get responses from the four people/places I requested backcountry partners from I decided to take Sunday off. I have a friend who also has Banana on their wish list so we're going to do it in the following weeks. I can envision I may be a little let down like you say, Lifelink, but Ross was the first peak I climbed when I moved to Bozeman so that line holds a special place in my heart.
