Similar to Gully #2 but longer. This is a fun option for those seeking night, long chutes. It requires a bit of bushwhacking along a drainage to access, from there, you can begin bootpacking. Once at the top of the Gully, you can continue to Boott Spur (in good conditions) or drop in here. Be aware that this gully does tend to windload and has some deep terrain traps. However, when the snowpack is stable, this is a wonderful line.
