Incredibly steep and exposed line that results in a decent amount of adrenaline due to the technical steep turns required. The run starts out on a nice wide open face that gradually gets steeper as you pass the 'V' Tree. The safest route is to the skier's right. Skiers left is extremely exposed to volcanic cliff bands. If the snow gets too firm, there's a right hand traverse just past 'V-tree' that will follow underneath the Icefall of Icefall Chute.
