The Fresh Pillows of Bel Air Map

The ski in starts shallow but keep going through the obvious gap between the trees till it gets steeper and you will be greeted by a stash of tight turns between excellent features. There are drops and pillows galore as well as some fun tree turns to navigate. At the end you come out into a shallow powder field just above the Granges drag lift
