This is the right-most of three short but fun couloirs on the East side of the Caoubere Valley. Access by skinning up the valley (from the Caoubere lift top) part way, then turning left to the base of the couloirs. This is perfect to combine with Gazex Couloir for a longer and entertaining descent. More info and photos at www.couloirquest.com. The difficulty rating for this route utilizes 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.
