Description
This has a slightly more challenging finale than Twin #2 but still has the same poor snow quality and remote feeling. Between the two Twin Bowls, Twin #1 is preferred due to its more interesting layout and slightly shorter egress
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.
