You can either take Comet Express and ski a line down to the lower Nevada side from there or when this is open, you can actually traverse around this massive lake to the Nevada Trail. This is nothing more than a glorified cat-track but it could save you some time by not waiting in line.
Difficulty
Easy
Wide gentle slopes at around 20 degrees or less.
Low Exposure (E1)
Exposure is limited to that of the slope itself. Getting hurt is still likely if the slope is steep and/or the snow is hard.
Remoteness
Close to help in case of emergency.
