East Hourglass Couloir

East Hourglass Couloir on Nez Perce is incredibly steep, narrow, and technical. Due to the rocky nature of the line, it isn't often filled in and skiable all the way to the top. Danger levels are very high in here all-around. West Hourglass Couloir is wider and more likely to be filled in.

Disclaimer: The backcountry is always dangerous. This includes the terrain accessed through backcountry gates at ski resorts. You could die in any area. You may encounter hazards including but not limited to: avalanches, cliffs, tree wells, rocks, stumps, fallen trees, man-made structures, other backcountry users, open creeks & streams, rapidly changing weather conditions, low visibility, frost bite, wild animals, and other unforeseeable dangers. Avalanche conditions as well as general skiing conditions can vary by time of day, by pitch, by elevation, and by specific location. You should never venture into the backcountry without a probe, a shovel, a beacon, a first aid kit, and expert proficiency in using all of these things. Never go into the backcountry alone, and never go into the backcountry without telling someone where you're going. Even properly prepared, and even if you do everything right, you could injure yourself or die. Know the risks and understand the decision you're making.
