Description

After 2000ft you can descend through the glades that may be intermixed with rock bands. If you drop in too soon before this, you will encounter cliffs on a NW facing slope, so scout and take caution! Just past the ledges you will find steep long glade runs in the dense woods.

Difficulty

Severe

Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.

Medium Exposure (E2)

As well as the slope itself, there are some obstacles (such as rock outcrops) which could aggravate injury.

Remoteness

In the high mountains or remote conditions, all individuals must be completely autonomous in every situation.
