BamBam is a fun short couloir. While not as steep as Pebbles next to it, it is a bit longer. Both are great to link in a ski down the east side of Pic d'Ourdegon, or when just skipping around the Bassias d'Ourdegon. The difficulty rating for this route uses the posted FATMAP criteria.

Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
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.
