North Bowl Boot Pack Route Map

Not really a run, but it is accessed by going towards Thunderdome and there you will go thru one gate and go through another one that is on your left. After that you should see a trail going into the trees. Once your through the trees, traverse across the whole bowl. Then it is time to take your skis off and get hiking. For me this hike takes me about 15-20 minutes, so it isn't a short hike. Once you get the top, takes some pictures to show your friends and ski all the knee deep powder back to the lift.
