North Bowl Proper Map

Almost always has fresh snow and definitely worth the hike. Accessed by taking the North Bowl hike up. If you want more information on that route look at freeride run that I made for it. The best entrance to this run is going in-between the small cornice on your right and a large boulder on your left. Then just ski down and enjoy the snow.
