Had a fun solo ski day Sunday November 30. Last day the Highwood Pass section of highway 40 was opened, so I thought I should head there. Skied to Piper Pass and then slogged up the little bump of “Piper Pass Peak” GR(390177).
Interesting, today was my 3rd time on this little bump. First time I
hiked to Piper Pass was in August 2003, hiked up it then. Second time I have
skied up to Piper Pass. Back in 2015 I spent the winter solstice camping at
near Piper Pass and walked up the peak then as well. Really coverage in Piper Creek, skied up and
down the regular Piper Creek summer trail, a but scary on ski out! Great Opal
Range views from the pass.
