Centaurus takes a good bit of traversing to get to and isn't really worth the effort required to get here. Still, the run holds some of the best snow in the area and the lower glades are admittedly very enjoyable! This run is essentially an alternate into Ursa Minor and similar in difficulty to the main entrance with slightly less exposure.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
