Mary's Slide Map

A wide open bowl with a decent pitch that collects good snow, with good choice over the steepness of your line. The middle of the bowl provides the easiest way down, however approaching from either side wall rapidly ups the gradient, with the south facing wall holding the best snow. The ridge to the skier's right offers some great steep ridge skiing as well as an offering of trees and little features.
