I set out for Kendall Peak to ski what appeared (on maps) to be a cool line down it's southwest face. However I got there to find that the bottom 25% of the line had no snow. Instead I climbed the south ridge, skied 75% of my line, and opted for some great corn on the south side of the peak.

The final push to Kendall's summit. After summitting I would ski the snow on the left then boot back to this point and ski the south western aspect

Although my intended line was out I found some pretty nice corn to ski
