My friends spent 3 days skiing and climbing in the Matterhorn Peak area. I keep a low profile and stayed for 2 days only. Very nice area, jagged peaks all over the place separated by steep couloirs for skiing... We set up camp in a basin between Matterhorn Peak and Twin Peaks. 10 of us went up, including Paul, Dan, Anne-Laure, Eric Pape, Dave, Jernej, Debrah, Eric Wintenberger and Brett. It was fun winter camping with all these guys!! On the first day we got to our campsite around 11 am and started digging platforms for the tents. I started a strenuous 6 hour digging of a snowcave! Around 1 pm, after a good lunch, Dave, Paul and Eric headed up towards Matterhorn Peak, with the objective of skiing the East Couloir. However, the East Couloir wasn't in condition and we ended up skiing the very nice Ski Dreams, which is the gully just east of it.On the next day I went to this couloir with Paul. Going to the top was very nice, involving some very easy scrambling on rock from the top of the couloir. The top of the peak is very impressive and it's fun to be able to get there via an easy route. The snow was average, very variable but we still had some nice turns!
