Landry Line

A steep, exposed, dangerous, rarely skied E-NE facing line off Pyramid Peak. Landry Line is a famous mountaineering objective for those who want to ski from the peak of Pyramid. Most of the time it isn't filled in enough to ski, and even when it is, you may need ropes to navigate the crux. It's named after Chris Landry, who first skied it in 1978.

Disclaimer: The backcountry is always dangerous. This includes the terrain accessed through backcountry gates at ski resorts. You could die in any area. You may encounter hazards including but not limited to: avalanches, cliffs, tree wells, rocks, stumps, fallen trees, man-made structures, other backcountry users, open creeks & streams, rapidly changing weather conditions, low visibility, frost bite, wild animals, and other unforeseeable dangers. Avalanche conditions as well as general skiing conditions can vary by time of day, by pitch, by elevation, and by specific location. You should never venture into the backcountry without a probe, a shovel, a beacon, a first aid kit, and expert proficiency in using all of these things. Never go into the backcountry alone, and never go into the backcountry without telling someone where you're going. Even properly prepared, and even if you do everything right, you could injure yourself or die. Know the risks and understand the decision you're making.
