Lower Little Austria

The lower section of Little Austria descends into a tight boulder lined gully which feeds down into Lady Northcote Canyon. As a result of the rocky terrain, this run requires a lot of snow, if the upper section of the run is covered, it doesn't truly give a good indication of the conditions in this gully. The area can provide some nice tight skiing down into the canyon, just make sure there is evidence of strong snow bridges across the creek, as you will need to cross it multiple times on the way down. The easiest exit from this run is to head up Lady Northcote Canyon to Lake Albina, or if you want to get back to Carruthers Peak, you could head back up the way you came and skin up Little Austria.
