Schneiderspitze Couloir Map

It's easy to scope from the base area, and not hard to tour to the top of (even if the chairlift is closed), but standing at the drop-in is pretty scary, especially because you can't really see what's below you. If the snow conditions are on (filled in from the right wind directon, and not sun affected) then it's possible, and is something you'll remember for the rest of your life.
