Crazy Woman Map

A bucket lift backcountry line for people who enjoy great skiing only. This run is very remote and so much so that you might want to consider using a helicopter!; Just make sure to ask Lazy Bar Z ranch for permission first as they own the land and don't allow moterized accses. This run may get windblown so don't ski it before february and make sure to check the conditions before you attempt it. This run gets plenty of snow and may be skiable in early june some years. Not the toughest couloir out there and most of it around 40 degrees except the entrance. I don't know how many times this was desended, but I would assume it's less than 10.

Difficulty

Severe

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

2 out of 4

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

Remoteness

3 out of 4

Little chance of being seen or helped in case of an accident.
