Roost Map

Off the bend, half way down Upper Pole Cat, look for a ski area boundary disk, at an entrance that looks indistinct from far away. Start down a low angle, tight glade. Follow this to a split, at the split, continue trending left. This brings you through more tight woods, and eventually a chute. There's a fun drop in there to hit. Once you reach the valley floor, follow low angle glades to a traverse. Take the traverse back to Catnap. If you drop too low, you will not be able to get back to the resort.
