I asked people on Strava for some skiing suggestions in the state of Colorado. Emperor couloir was mentioned twice. And that was enough to get my car pointed in the right direction. Emperor Couloir is a ski line that descends the north face of this very popular and highly rated Colorado 14er. Torreys Peak sits in the Front Range only an hour or so from Denver. It has an elevation of 14,272 and a number of recognizable ski lines.

Stevens Gulch is such a beautiful area to be this time of year. I was out there a couple weeks ago just as a hiker, and both the road and snow conditions look MUCH improved from then. Cars, even 4x4 jeeps and the like, get stuck and have to get towed out (for a hefty fee) all the time in May and June, so glad you were able to get to a spot safely.

I made the drive up to the trailhead for Gray's and Torrey's peaks in my little Subaru and it was the worst road I've ever been on. So many big sharp rocks all over and it was extra nerve racking doing it in the dark. Congrats on 100k. Been a subscriber for years.

When the snow is plentiful, the jeep road on the approach to Torrey's and Gray's can be great fun coming back down, as it has some rather steep sides and can be like a half-pipe. We used to go up there just to do that over and over again. Grizzly Gulch, the right hand choice down below, takes one up under Torrey's on the north side, and that little basin has unlimited tele possibilities.

Nice skiing a classic! You typically need an early start to climb up Dead Dogs couloir from the frequent rock fall & shedding. I almost saw a group get taken out by a microwave size rock while climbing up DD when I was skinning up the summer route to board Emperor last year.

Agreed! Many have had their day ruined by wet snow avys and rock falls on Grays and Torreys. Rule of thumb for CO 14ers this time of year is to see the sun coming up from the summit or close to it. And o course, carry a beacon even when solo so S&R can recover your body if you have a bad day, BTW, nice turns!
