Carousel Gully is a short, skier's right trending gully that offers a few good turns. It often lasts later in the season so it can be a reliable slack skiing option. Carousel begins with a few turns through a short snowfield, then cuts right into a gully formed by a wall on the right side and a rock field on the left. Just as soon as the fun starts, the gully ends and deposits you in the scree fields of Mother In Law. Pick your way down and climb Airplane Gully for the most straightforward exit.
