Scope and Contents

Photograph number 1: Ted on Wolverine
Photograph number 2: June 15 at noon down between Tuscarora and Wolverine. L. Mary in background. 35-40 degree slope probably un-skiable except in spring. One spill and you slide over the rocks. We did not spill though. Even this corn snow would slither down after a turn and meet you in the middle of the next one. I believe any powder would have gone right off the second we got on the slope.
Photograph number 3: Tuscarora,(?) Wolverine back
Photograph number 4: The chute up to Wolverine via the shoulder of Millicent. Sun on opposite rocks
Photograph number 5: From Wolverine looking towards Big Cottonwood Canyon
Photograph number 6: June 15, between Tuscarora and Wolverine. Taken just west of the other two pictures. The slope can't be more than 400' high; however it is all "down"
Photograph number 7: Probably Chick LeCayer on Wolverine
Photograph number 8: The easy way from Wolverine to L. Mary
Photograph number 9: Tuscarora and Wolverine about 1:00-2:00 p.m., notice firn sliders
Photograph number 10: Down at L. Mary looking back where we'd skied. Tuscora to left, Wolverine back and to right. 1300 foot drop from Wolverine to lake. 3 pictures "between Tuscarora and Wolverine" taken looking down into bowl to right of Tuscora. Photographer stood on ridge. We came down over cliffs just above lake on snow strip just above Chick's ski tips, pretty steep, especially at top. No chance of stopping on such a slope once skier is off his edges unless he can get a pole in. Next winter we'll stay too the left, on a giant slalom!
Photograph number 11: Wolverine 7:00 a.m. first swing of ridge, June 15
