Aerials Map

Aerials is a set of steep shots surrounded by many slabs of rock and cliffs. You enter it from The Headwall traverse or from the Fantasy Ridge hike. The entrance is a steep side slip through rocks and into the run. You can then take the extreme run down the center which has a few steep, narrow chutes and cliffs to launch off of, or you can traverse into the trees and attempt to ski around it. It is one of the hardest runs off of the north side of Fantasy Ridge. When skied on a powder day, it is a very fun thrill ride that spits you out into the Lower Headwall.
