Fourth of July Couloir Map

This one might be even narrower than Sister II Couloir. Really insane line that will most likely require very precise jump turns. Get here by hiking to Fourth of July peak and riding on the backside ridgeline. Right before the cliff, you'll get to this run. Like all other runs in this area, this couloir will lead you the base of Deadwood Peak. Extreme riders only...
