This follows all the terrain directly underneath the Northwoods Express lift. Tons of rocks, and boulders to play around with. You can access this from several different ways but the easiest is probably to ski down South rim and traverse to the lift. Continue through the trees and at times there can be a double fall line, that can be moguled out if not skied after a storm.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
