Starts wide then narrows to become quite narrow, as well as steep. Holds good snow, but the enjoyable part of this run can be a bit short. Getting out before you get too low into the tress can be beneficial by heading skier's left. Can be an awkward traverse back to the Mary's Slide bridge.
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
