The 10 Little Indians are rarely skied. For much of the season they are guarded by large cornices at the top. Even if those cornices collapse in the spring, the snow can be so rough - due to the southern aspect - that this area is often not worth the effort. However, in the RARE instance that a cornice is not blocking the entrance and the snow conditions are favorable (both avalanche danger and quality), these can be very fun. Although they are short, these chutes are steep and aesthetic. Be VERY patient and wait for the right conditions if you have ambitions to ski the 10 Little Indians.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
