A wonderfully easy tour to a fun zone with stacks of pillows accessible by a boot pack that you can set throughout. Sturdy snow pack at this time and a minor creek crossing to be aware of. The area does lead to a small terrain trap at the bottom so you must be certain the snowpack is stable and will not slide. Just out of sight of the road makes this zone easy for rescue vehicles to get to you if things do go wrong.
