2nd West Face Map

These runs are as easy as a single black and could even be considered a blue if groomed. The only exception is the 5th West Face, which could be considered a black or double. These are outrun area's of the Nose Chutes. These areas hold phenomenal snow even when the rest of the mountain is a sheet of ice.
