One of the last chutes in Copper's Adjacent Backcountry that you're recommended to hike to.
Freeride Skiing Difficult
This is a very short, but enjoyable chute. The major downside is that you get very little vertical of actual steep skiing and you'll be required to take a ridiculously long and flat traverse to get out of this area. It's generally better to stick with Cornice Bowl and White Ribbon as those runs don't require as significant of a traverse to get out of. Far Side is the absolute final run you should consider skiing as beyond it, the skiing becomes shorter vertical-wise and worse due to an increasingly southern exposure. That isn't saying Far Side is a bad run as it can house some of the best snow in this popular backcountry area. It's just not particularly worth the long traverse out!
