I can see this mountain right now outside my window and its been a dream of mine to ski it since I was a kid. Looks as it its always caked in snow and looks sooo nice. I did some research and looks like a hell of a hike but I was wondering if anyone has attempted it.
 
i skied it last summer with my dad. on the summit descent, we were walking down through a scree field to get to the glacier on the backside. There was one big rock at the top of the glacier about the size of a VW Bug that I decided to climb on. Soon as i put my weight on it, it rolled and I to leap onto the snow.

Fortunately, the rock only tipped on its side and stopped rolling. but unfortunately, my backpack threw off my balance when i jumped and i landed on my back and got kinda scraped up and bent the frame of my backpack. All in all, it was a fun two-day climb.
 
my mom didnt have twin tips, but she did fine. its spring conditions but that doesnt mean that the snow wont slide. i saw a few small slides and i actually caused one aswell! mostly off of old cornices and weak layers wear the snow is melting. its pretty safe tho, just go with a friend and bring lots of water!
 
I think I am gonna have to go check that out. Ive always wanted ski it, because everytime I look out the window I see that beautiful mountain.
 
4 in dat ho? I don't get it. Anyways, I will hike that shit this summer, I don't think ill bring gear the first time, but ill go get pics and scope out lines for my second ascent.
 
the second picture isn't three fingers either. The last two do look like the Queest Alb Glacier on three fingers.
