A huge, wide open area right in the middle of the saddle
Freeride Skiing Difficult
Cloud Nine is basically the wide area in the middle of the saddle. There are endless options in here for ripping around. The top section is a little steep but is very wide. It then flattens out before dropping down again and this part has many cliffs to jump off and a lot of features for playing around. The whole area does get choppy very easily and it doesn't get filled in with snow like the gullies do, but it's still a lot of fun and there is an endless amount of things to do here on a powder day
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
