This bowl is quite steep and the cornice entrance is a little tricky. Once you're in however, you'll find a steep yet very fun bowl with great snow. However, it is short-lived as the run ends rather quickly before flattening out. This run is quite steep and essentially sustains that pitch pretty for the entire duration of the run. For experts, this is a really fun one!
