-Sunlight Peak sits high above Needle Creek and Chicago Basin in the heart of the San Juans.  Its summit block requires several boudering style rock moves to get to the top.  No one has ever skied or snowboarded directly from the summit of Sunlight because of the last couple boulder.  Most start at the base of the summit boulders about 30 or 40 feet below the summit proper.  It is a beautiful peak in a remote wilderness.
