Santa Ski Tour - 12.23.2015

At the headwaters of Lyon Creek there are a series of lines with a Christmas theme: Fat Santa, Skinny Santa, and Bad Santa. They are all different, but they have two things in common: 1) They are a pain in the ass to get to. 2) They are awesome.

Bad Santa and Fat Santa are guarded by an exposed and rime covered ridge. It looks like this:

To avoid that ridge, you can start by skiing Skinny Santa.
