Magnetic Field is an amazing run with a big mountain feel despite a lesser pitch. The run starts off with a chute between rocks before filtering into a lightly gladed area with a consistent pitch. You'll eventually filter onto the Creek Trail which you can take all the way to the Hawkins Base. This run like High Stoke requires a brief rock scramble to access but this isn't too bad. This run is definitely worth it and is home to some of the best snow in the area due to its hidden nature!
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.
