“The Bloody Couloir has tempted Mammoth locals for decades and is widely considered one of the most classic descents on the entire Eastside of the Sierra.” (FCSDofNA)
“When you have a quest it puts you in the middle of what you say and what you want to do. It gives you a focus and a purpose. That taught me to step back from the long-range goal that was driving me and be completely present in the moment.”
Having skied this line over 20 years ago, the Bloody Couloir in the Eastern Sierra Mountains of California, is a full circle journey for The FIFTY. Joined by an all-star crew of friends and pros, this is the final line of The FIFTY --so far. While there are still four lines to attempt, the end of the FIFTY YouTube series is marked by the return to a classic couloir in classic FIFTY style, with a load of friends and a little extra bit of walking.
