Beautiful little couloir hidden from the road on Kangerurtinden mountain with stunning views of the Fjords and mountains and a nice little line to ride too!

Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
