From the top entrance, ski off the ridge line into the bowl that rewards those who travel this far with unsurpassed beauty and fresh tracks. The gradient is more mild and safer than the lower section. It is recommended you ski into the gully and find some protection in the trees below from potential slides. This face will eventually dump you onto the cat trail that leads you back to Grouse. But traverse right at the bottom.
