Ragnarok Map

For those who get cold feet seeing how narrow and dangerous the Middle Creek Couloir is, Ragnarok is a great way to get a similar feeling run that's much less dangerous. That being said, Ragnarok is still decently challenging and has a solid choke in the middle of the run. No straightlining is required here but this is still plenty challenging for the average skier!
