Gun Barrel Map

Gun Barrel begins just as you start the Saddle Track. Drop into the left and you will see a very obvious half pipe. It's great fun for ripping turns and playing around. On powder days it fills with snow, but on most days its hard-packed due to being in its own shadow.

Description

Follow it all the way until you come out near the end of the Easy Rider piste.

Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
