Bullet is great for big fast turns as it is one of the wider gullies in the saddle. As with all of them, it collects snow making it a great choice on a powder day. On the skier's right there are many options for hitting and the gully wall is perfect for playing around.
Description
It rejoins the piste just about the Indicator Chutes which makes it a great last run back to Home Basin at the end of the day.
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
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.
