This run is part of the famed Cornice Bowl area and is one of the legendary Corniced Chutes. It takes a good bit of hiking to get all the way up and over here, but the snow is extremely good and the cornice drop is incredibly satisfying! This is one of the most popular areas that riders drop as the cornice, and the chute itself, are steep, but manageable!
Difficulty
Difficult
Serious gradient of 30-38 degrees where a real risk of slipping exists.
Medium Exposure (E2)

Remoteness
