To access this line, hike to the Summit of Peak 7. Once you get to the top, you will see a sign for Whiskey River. You are basically skiing off the summit of Peak 7 towards Peak 6. After skiing the ridge, you have the chance to ski South Col, a extreme double black diamond run off peak 6 if you keep your speed. If you're unable to keep your speed then just turn left whenever and you'll meet up with The Dunes
