About half way down Headwaters Bowl, you will see a traverse above the treeline, over a shoulder ridge. Take this traverse, be on the lookout for little exposed rocks. You will enter a short face above Six Shooter, offering nice turns back to Lazy Jack. This can be a good spot to hit on powder days.
