Longitude & Latitude are two very different runs that you can access from the top of the Sub-peak. Longitude is a more traditional bowl run but it takes a bit more uphill traversing to reach. There's a bit of a rocky entry but the snow here is exceptionally good and untouched. Latitude is more of a tree-defined chute that can require a cliff drop to enter on some poor snow years. Both filter onto the Upper Creek Trail which take you back to the Hawkins Base. Definitely a fun area to check out if you're looking for some good snow!
