Top to bottom route on Pomp Peak with traverse over cliff band. Mostly easy skiing until you traverse over the cliff band. You start from the top of Pomp Peak and ski down the south face then about halfway down you traverse over a decent sized cliff band. You might have to side step up if the rocks on the switchback are exposed. After the traverse you end up in a open couloir the back down to Fairy Lake.
