  • Mt Timpanogos is the Rainier of the Rockies. It has 3 distinct summits, virtually unlimited ascent & descent options covering all aspects, and its scale is totally unlike anything else in the Wasatch - it feels massive. So it's no surprise that I've spent a lot of time on this mountain. During previous visits to Utah I skied the north and south sides of Timpanogos, and felt I had just scratched the surface. Spring 2024 arrived with perfect conditions for a double ascent of Timpanogos, using Aspen Grove as a base and skiing the East Ridge and West Face.
    Part 2 covers the West Face descent. Sam and I didn't actually run into any West End Girls up there, but we did spend 2 hours on the summit enjoying the gorgeous weather and waiting for snow to soften. Our patience was rewarded with a great ski run that goes for 5000' straight down to the Utah Valley.
    Music: Pet Shop Boys, "West End Girls"
