Box Elder Peak - Sleigh Runner

May 17, 2018 - Northern Utah

7.3 mi  /  4,351 ft

It had been a relatively crappy snow year, and even though it was only mid-May, the snow was melting fast. I hadn't done Box Elder via the Sleigh Runner gully in a couple years so I decided to take off a nice weather Thursday and git 'er done, so to speak. The snow was sparse in Wide Hollow, but there was still a nice continuous snow line to the south saddle. The snow was also really good both up and down the Sleigh Runner...I was able to bob down like 95% of it. Awesome! I also got some nice Mavic footage from the summit of Box Elder...adding to my collection of Wasatch summit drone video. :)
