Description
The Morgue is a steep eastern aspect off of Hidden Knoll. It often gets wind loaded and has odd sun crusts, so avalanches happen regularly here. Be very aware. If conditions allow, however, it is a very fun ski line to challenge yourself on steep, cliffed terrain.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
