Description
"Gnarnia" is an awesome name for a very tight and committed couloir route off the Tram Face. The run is only skiable in years of very high snowfall. The main couloir will either require some horrifyingly tight jump turns, or a straight-line. After exiting the narrow couloir you can either continue further down the chute, or traverse skiers' right towards the main part of the Tram Face!
