After Greg went scouting up on Superior yesterday for potential lines that could go, he set his sights on Pinball Alley on the south face Superior. It had a single track going into to it and after further scouting from the bottom of the chute, he decided that it could go. It had enough snow in it to fill the tight couloir but not too much that it became unskiable. With high hopes of being able to ski Pinball Alley in these prime conditions, Greg and I headed up Superior today.

Once on the summit of Superior, we skied the top section of the south face and traversed into the top of Pinball Couloir. The couloir is no more then a ski length wide throughout and at it's crux, the slope angle is about 60 degrees depending on the snowpack. Today the snow conditions were ideal in the couloir and it skied awesome. You could make hop turns throughout it and didn't need to straight line any point. We had a great time skiing this classic line.
