This area mellows out the further skiers' left you go with the middle having some mild cliff drops and some steeper section. This is a really fun and relaxed area with some mild tree runs. A lot of it is open, especially towards the middle, but the sides are pretty gladed and tranquil. Great first glade run for the novice backcountry skier (if you're even able to make it all the way out here!)
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
In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
