This run takes a good bit of traversing to reach from the T-Bar. Once you make it to the end of the face and exit through the gate, you'll be greeted with this steep and enjoyable face. It is a steep run though it mellows out very quickly and this run will set you up nicely to hike to ski all the technical alpine runs off Jacque Peak
