Twin has it all... an efficient approach (3700ft of booting from the parking lot for 3200ft of skiing), an engaging steep face, a twisty turny couloir and incredible views. Move this one on the top of your list.
Note: The ski line is not from the summit of Twin Peaks. For my summit report which includes Twin Peaks summit please see the Rinker Trip Report
