Wright Mountain
Backcountry ski tour in Snoqualmie Pass
Wright Mountain, home to the relatively obscure Oyster Couloir, provides a unique skiing destination. The mountain offers impressive views of the Alpental Valley, Chair Peak, Bryant, Snoqualmie Mountain, and Gem Lake. The couloir features a blind entrance, and at its narrowest, it's only as wide as a ski. Ski crampons and veggie belays may be required for safe travel. Snow Lake, while seemingly serene, may not be safe for crossing, especially during the early season. Navigating through terrains like snow-covered boulders, icy waterfalls, and a forested gully is part of the journey down the mountain.
