With all the late season snow  it has shaped up to be a great spring year. On my tick list was the Comma Couloir off of Cobb in the Pioneers. This is a line you can see in the distance when skiing at Sun Valley. With conditions looking prime we started out the day on mt. bikes to shave off the first 2.5 miles.  It is always exciting biking with tele boots and skis on pack. I kept reminding myself how great it will be at the end of the day to coast down to the trail head for a cold beer.  Cobb Peak is located in the Pioneers Mts in central Idaho. It stands out at 11,650 feet and is one of the most prominent peaks in the range. The ascent was through beautiful multi colored rock, towering cliffs, and sub-alpine brush. We had perfect conditions to kick steps using crampons and ice axes.  The Comma Couloir sits lookers right from just below the summit.  This is a great steep ski line that had perfect corn for 4000 feet!  You gotta love the spring Mountain Niceness!
