Freeride Skiing Severe
You can get a good look at the drop off for this line while on the saddle chair, just look to your left as you leave the bottom station. This line is a series of cliffs that are well known in NZ. They are pretty serious and you need to know what you are doing. Just watch the locals hucking off them on a powder day for inspiration
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
