From the entrance of Bushrat, drop over the skiers right of the shoulder and into the narrower chute which follows under the main Bushrat line. This line also takes an obvious diagonal left route that is often less skied than Bushrat itself. The snow remains good here even a few days after a snowfall. Early in the season there are often rocks here which are still exposed. Be careful of traverse lines as you exit and avalanche/cornice debris in the bowl of Couloir Extreme after.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
