Kain Cliffs: PERMANENTLY CLOSED Map

These set of gigantic cliffs were once accessible to the public via The Wild West Gates. They have now been permanently closed due to avalanche risk and the sheer threat they pose to unprepared Sunshine Village guests. If you attempt to ski this, please note that since it is permanently closed, you will be breaking laws and will most likely be charged for it. The closest you can get to these once legendary cliffs is by skiing Engler's and Hell's Kitchen
