Skied the Commonwealth couloir in Kananaskis (May 23.) 2 years ago Geoff and I tried to ski this line from the bottom up and were turned around at the first big step. This time we went back for redemption and summited Commonwealth peak before dropping into the line from the top. Stoked to have finally skied this classic K country big line!

    Nice vid, the fact that it is not just pov is a bonus, it definitely gives a better perspective.

    Noice. Reminds me of the Dolomites, lots of 'canale' with very deep slots, different color though. Thanks for the stoke!

    Big Balls!! How long does it take to climb up?

    Nice work boys - seemed like a lot of work to get down the line though - good thing you had a pin with you. Try the Shelf at the Pass if you haven't done so yet - better skiing and less muking around with gear once you've done the inital rap to enter the line- although that is part of the adventure ... 🙂

    What length of rope did you use? I was also turned away on this line trying to climb up it directly, id love to go back and get it all! Nice work.

    I’d be tempted to send it over that first small cliff spot, landing looks pretty good and what’s the drop… 10-15 ft?

    Why not hike up the ski line? Pretty impressive hike without the rope and reusing someone else's old lines.
