The Landry line off Pyramid Peak is the classic line that I skied on April 21, 2022. This was a lovely day out with a good friend Victor Major to link up Pyramid Peak with the centennial summit Thunder Pyramid (13,932’) that lies just to the south. The day was fluid, we cruised to the top of Landry in quick time: I skied Landry and Victor skied the East Face just to the south. We congregated in the basin and cruised around to the basin beneath the Northeast face of Thunder Pyramid, ascended, and skied the West Face. It summed out to a beautiful 8,600’ day in the Elks.

Moving with Victor (IG: @vwmajor) in the mountains is a pleasure as he makes hard ski descents look fairly easy.

Since I only had two days in the Elks this spring, I tried to make the most of it and was very happy to linkup the Hat Trick on April 20th followed by the Landry/Thunder linkup on April 21.
