Hike to the summit of 9374 Peak and ski the South Side of the Summit. The entrance will be a little rocky, steep, and narrow but past this the run will be fantastic. Either cut skiers' right for a gladed experience or stay skiers' right to remain in the alpine for sometime. Eventually you'll have to get into some glades and these glades will lead into a really playful gully that'll merge onto the Evergreen Trail which'll go to the Blue Lake Base Area
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.
