Alice's Hook

Providing over 500 metres of vertical in a good year, this run can be absolutely brilliant in the right conditions. Facing west, and as a result copping the full force of the westerly prevailing winds, this area loses snow quickly in spring, unless it has been a truly great year. Dropping off to the north west along the obvious spur for the peak itself, then then line the cuts to the southwest. This area provides some really nicely spaced trees lower down, yet at the same time the top section is and can be quite harmful. The snow further down gets quite thin later in the season, however the south westerly faces can not do that. Follow the ridge line down and you will have no issues whatsoever, just take care of lurking hazards beneath the snow, including some pretty hefty boulders. The best return for this run is to hike/skin straight up the way you came.
