This trail you will want to access from Sierra by traversing out hard left until the orange color is indicated. You may find some tight trees and a lot of options as you work down to a natural bench. There you will find a litter of natural wind formations. This area is just above the large open clearing, which should be easy to indicate.
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
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
