Description
The parabolic west facing slopes give an excellent feel of skiing straight to the sea above Djupvik. Be aware of the large cornices overhanging the cliffs on the North East side of the mountain, they are often huge and at risk of collapse.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
