Kessler Peak 10,403 ft- Argenta Slide Path 1/18

Kessler Peak- Gods lawnmower lookers left and Argenta slide path lookers right

The conditions looked good so we decided to try to bag a peak and get some steep and deep turns on the way down. We set our sites on Kessler peak. We parked at the base of the Argenta slide path and followed a skin track right up the face of it. It took us about four hours to reach the summit.

After reaching the summit of Kessler, we skied down the north ridge to the top of the Argenta slide path. We skied a couple of fun chutes that led into Argenta. Nico and I opted to drop the lookers right chute that required a mandatory drop over some rocks. Then Greg and Koby dropped into the lookers left chute and enjoyed some deep turns. We then enjoyed 3400 vertical feet of skiing to the bottom.
