Depending on the time of year and snowpack, you can drive fairly far up the Star Canyon Road. If you or your vehicle aren't up for the task, simply park in the small clearing just before the canyon begins, and walk the flat approach. The northeast ridge offers the most straightforward (and safest) route to the top. If you have never skied out in the Great Basin before, prepare for some truly spectacular views.

The north face is the money line, and provides a multitude of remarkably long runs. In typical Great Basin fashion, you will likely be amazed at the scale of this landscape, maps just don't do it justice! Drop straight from the top through a fun cliff band zone, or traverse skier's left down the ridge for a more continuously open ride if you prefer GS turns.

If you are looking for a second lap (which you likely will be), check out the aesthetic east couloir or the impressive south face. With the exception of the south face (which would require a climb up and out), egresses are pretty intuitive. Simply follow the drainages downstream until you reconnect with the Star Canyon Road.
