Wir freuen uns, weiterführende Informationen zu der Geschichte "The
Sierra Giant“, die in der diesjährigen Ausgabe von „BACKLINE Backcountry
Freeskiing Photo & Story Magazine“ publiziert wurde, hier zu
präsentieren: In der Sierra Nevada in Kalifornien findet man einige
der längsten Abfahrten der USA. Einer der
beliebtesten Berge mit den begehrtesten Abfahrten ist ohne Zweifel der
Mount Whitney mit seinen 4.421 Metern. Aber es gibt noch andere Gipfel
aus der Reihe der sogenannten „14er“ (so genannt wegen ihrer Höhe über
14.000 Fuß/4.267 Meter), die von den erfahreneren Skitourengehern sehr
geschätzt werden. Einer der Stars in der Sierra Nevada ist der Mount
Williamson und seine selten mit Ski befahrene Nordseite mit dem Giant
Steps Couloir. Der 4.383 Meter hohe Berg ist der einzige in der gesamten
Bergkette, der völlig allein steht, in der Wüste des Owens Valley ohne
direkte Bergnachbarn.
We are happy to be able to offer you more information about the story "The Sierra Giant“, published in the current issue of “BACKLINE Backcountry Freeskiing Photo & Story Magazine“: The Sierra Nevada Mountains in California are home to some of the biggest ski descents in the continental United States. And Mount Whitney, standing the tallest at 4,421 meters, is – without a doubt – one of the most desired mountains and runs. But there are other 14ers in the range that are even more valued by the seasoned ski mountaineer. Mount Williamson and its rarely skied north face with the Giant Steps couloir is one of the stars of the Sierra. At 4,267 meters (14,380 feet), this is the only 14er in the range that is not guarded by other mountains, taking you right into the desert of the Owens Valley some 4,383 meters below.
