W Face Nya Nuki Peak Map

The West face of Nya Nuki is one that doesn't fill in all that much. All the snow usually gets blasted off the West side into the bowls on the East side. If you can get it, its a really great line. 600 feet of 35 degrees wide open face rolls down into a few different gullies for another 400 or so feet. The gullies can have some obstacles, so ski slower as you hit the roll over. Head back towards Sacajawea or back up to Nya Nuki.
