Description
good trail did it in about an hour taking it easy trail is usually broken already lots of people using this after it snows, did it late season and there was still lots of untouched snow but it does get a lot of sun so I would only do it on cooler spring days or in winter
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
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.
