Report from Memorial Day, May 25, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The last time I skied Mt. Gibbs was in 2024 with Bernie Rosow<\/a>, who we just lost this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought about him all day as Fox and I traded stories of climbing and skiing with Bernie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gibbs is a beast of a mountain with a plethora of amazing ski lines.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wish I knew the exact name of this chute \u2013 for now, we\u2019re calling it \u201cRoller Coaster Couloir.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
