Republic Mountain North Couloir Map

Big steep couloir cutting straight down the north face of Mount Republic. The entrance is quite steep and narrow and may require a few hop turns. Steepness then eases and couloir widens allowing for some nice turns. The couloir is north facing and is nearly always shaded due to the steep walls. This keeps the snow quite good late into the season.

Difficulty

Severe

Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.

In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
