South Sister

South Sister is primarily known as one of the area's premier hikes to the summit of an actual volcano. However, the Prouty Glacier Headwall on the northeast side of the mountain is an exciting climbing objective for someone who is interested in an out-of-the-way, moderately steep snow climb. As far as ski objectives go, South Sister has a wealth of great lines on many sides of the mountain with great access for a one day ski trip from the summit of a mountain.
