This area is a bit easier to access with makes for more carved out trails and banked tree runs. This is a great way to carve up some tree laps with an unlimited amount of options on natural features just outside the groomed runs.
Difficulty
Moderate
Slopes become slightly steeper at around 25-30 degrees.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
