Callaghan: Pillow Talk Map

Some of the all-time best skiing on the PNW Coast was had here! With 35cm of untouched snow, we had our pick of blower lines all day.

Description

We were able to lap this twice very easily, and definitely could have done it a third time if we weren't filming!

Only thing to remember is to stay skier's left, as there are a couple of cliff bands to watch out for on the right!
