This line drops into the Little Austria bowl from Mt Lee, following the drainage line of this gully, in winter it is one of the best places to find fresh snow blowing in from the range. Providing similar characteristics to the main Little Austria bowl, this side is slightly mellower, and mellows to follow the drainage line into the gully of Lower Little Austria. This side holds the snow slightly worse than the other side of the bowl, nonetheless holding it far better than other areas on the range allows it to remain skiable long after the lifts stop turning at the resorts. The return journey is easy by simply skinning up either side of the bowl.
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
