Silvertip
Silvertip towers over the Six Mile Creek and Summit Lake country, and its flanks host several mines with trails also providing access to a wild place for backcountry skiers.
Dr. Snow and yours truly tried the Silvertip Creek Trail, following it for 1-1/2 miles, and then traversing up the west branch of Silvertip Creek to a beautiful bowl on Peak 4340. Doc and I ascended the east-facing bowl to the false summit just below 4340.

Silvertip's little brother
Doc and I scaled the sky-line ridge on the left.
This bowl captured our imaginations. Rimey snow at the top gave way to boot top powder.

Good work, I love that area, now I'm kicking myself I didn't head down south.
So dumb observation, but I guess it didn't dawn on me that the pointed piniacle were were looking at from the ridge above Raven's is part of the same massive as Silver Tip. In other news, I shouldn't be allowed to look at topo maps before bed time.
Great post Jack, those are some big runs
