Description
The Tram Face itself is seldom skied. Just like the name suggests, Hidden Gem is an even more seldom skied line of the seldom skied Tram Face. It's a very difficult run that requires unbelievably tight and technical turns as well as a few notable cliff drops. Be very careful skiing this alternative to the Tram Chute as this route is arguably more dangerous!
