Another option, between Shit for Brains and Dogleg, Dogshit is separated by a large rock choke and does not always ski depending on the year. If you do decide to ski it, it is highly recommended to access it from the bottom with crampons and the correct mountaineering gear. The majority of the line is not complicated, it is when you decide to hike through rock choke that things get difficult as seen on the route. The first half of the line can be a good option to do with Shit for Brains since it is right there. If you decide to go all the up, use caution and descend your route carefully. Enjoy the bottom half of the line with nice steep open turns. Exit out to the bottom and the follow the route back through the trees.
