Go up Pawnee Pass and follow the Shoshoni Peak Northwest Slopes ascent route (or pick your preferred ascent route instead). From the summit, ski along the east ridge a bit before heading off north, or ski one of the several steep options along the north ridge. You'll have to kid of pick through rocks at the bottom and cross the flats back to the Pawnee Pass Trail.
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
Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
