Freeride Skiing Difficult
Starting from the funicular top station, head east and past the Polar Express Poma and the Ptarmigan T-Bar. Stay as high as you can here, traversing out before dropping into either ‘Number one gully’, ’Number two gully’ or somewhere in between depending on the snow conditions. Continue skiing down, utilising recent wind distribution to access the best snow (normally on the west wall of the gully but be careful of wind slab). Instead of cutting skiers left to pick up the west wall poma, continue down the gully following the old chairlift line, useful as a navigational tool in flat light conditions. Ride as long as you can before hiking out to the Ciste Car Park via the wooden steps next to the old chairlift seats. From here, pick up the shuttle bus or catch a lift back to the top car park to do it again!
NB: If the snow line is high then you can traverse left halfway down the line to catch the West Wall Poma if it's running.
