Due north of Emigrant Lake. A wide medium sloped couloir will appear with big cliffs and trees on either side. Bottom of the line is about even with the bottom of Chair 3. A great zone to finish a ski tour back to Chair 3. CAUTION - near the bottom of the slope, you need to head in the Southwest direction by sidestepping or skins to make it to the bottom of Chair 3. If you continue skiing the fall-line, you will end up at Caples Lake.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
