The Swiss Horn is a treed zone below Hidden Knoll that has a large variety of cliffs and pillows. Some of the cliffs can be rather large, so be aware of what you're getting yourself into before you do it. If you are not interested in cliffs, there are plenty of routes through without any. Although it is short vertical (c.200 feet), it is often worth skiing because the snow here is well protected from the sun and wind.
