Watch us as we hike and ski Borah Peak, the highest mountain in Idaho. This episode is full of drama as we started out as 5 but only 3 of us ended up getting to the top. We choose to climb up Mt. Borah via the Chicken Out Ridge route which is steep and intimidating, as it causes hikers to chicken out once they see the potential dangers that lurk ahead.

The snow was not that great for the ski down. I was exhausted when I got to the top of Borah, so skiing down was stop and go the whole way. The Chicken Out Ridge route is pretty straight forward. We were able to follow the ridge the entire way except for that one part where we downclimbed and then got back on the ridge. This was a successful trip and I am glad we all made it down safe. Big Thanks to Joel Salvino, Noah McCallister, Tim White, and Alec Whitney for joining.
