Another original line before going back to the ski resort, this is a shortcut between black slopes. As the black slopes diverge go straight down. Some turns can be made and pretty clear of other skiers into the first part. The second part is more challenging, as if you are going too far right you might end up going off a big cliff with a flat landing. Head for the trees at the bottom of this run to avoid the cliff by mistake. The last part of the run before the junction with the black run again is quite steep and tasty- you can enjoy some steep skiing without much effort.
