From a low point of 3.2 km to the maximum altitude of 3.3 km, the route covers 850 m, 87 vertical metres of ascent and 121 vertical metres of descent. You'll need skins to complete it safely.
Description
Hike up the ridge from the Grouse lift maybe 1000 ft and you will see an elysian field filled with powder. An epic snowboard float, you can carve 5-6 good turns before merging into the Royal Elk glades below. Thank JD for this find later.
