Red's Couloir Map

Red's is a must do for anyone skiing a winter in the Northern Bridgers. It is super wide, and gets progressively steeper as you ascend it. At the very top, its in the high 40's (degrees) at least. While skiing, you are afforded steep, wide turns next to a beautiful rock spire on your left. After about 500 feet it opens up into a wide bowl, where you can arc turns as you see fit for the remainder of the descent. Some will boot up this line, and some will boot up East of the Hollywood wall and walk the backside talus to the top.
