This is a short gully that is worth doing if you’re too tired for another full lap, conditions are too poor for topping out, or you've done everything else in the area. Otherwise, there are better offerings in this area. Approach by climbing from the bottom until you reach a large cliff above, this marks the top of the line. Dig out a spot for your skis, then drop in. A few steep turns bring you back to the bushes where you can rejoin the very bottom of Great Gully.
