This is a popular freeride skiing route which is generally considered to be moderate. It's extremely remote, it features medium exposure (e2) and is typically done between January and April. From a low point of 2.4 km to the maximum altitude of 2.6 km, the route covers 1.1 km, 1 vertical metres of ascent and 207 vertical metres of descent.
Description
Like its neighbors, Low Entry suffers from a southern aspect that really hurts snow conditions in this area when conditions aren't prime. It also offers the least vertical out of these bowls. The one advantage is that it's a bit tricky to reach so snow can stay fresher here.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Medium Exposure (E2)
As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.
Remoteness
In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
