Easily accessed from the town of Isafjordur are three long and imposing couloirs over looking the town. The routes are all accessed easily from the road to the cross country ski area. The left most of the routes is described here. Park where the paved road ends and enter the drainage. Generally this line has wide areas to turn and is restricted in width only in its middle that pinches to 45 degree's for only a short section that can be easily side slipped. All three lines face south and can offer good spring snow late in the season.
