Rainbow Bowl Map

Rainbowl Bowl can be accessed by hiking up The Wrist to the top of The Fingers Chutes. Instead of skiing skiers' left towards The Fingers, you'll turn hard skiers' right into a fun bowl with a few trees scattered here and there. The bowl is quite steep towards the top and there are a few cliffs to jump off. It does mellow rather quickly however as it merges with Sunshine Bowl and the rest of the 9374 runs
