The steep headwall lookers left of the 'Baldy Chutes' above Alta's Ballroom area. The slope is steep and prone to avalanche so Alta rarely has it OPEN and Perla's may only be skied when OPEN. It is supposedly named after a Forest Ranger who was caught in an avalanche on the slope (and was OK). There are various lines down this headwall, most are exposed and exciting.
Difficulty
Severe
Steep skiing at 38-45 degrees. This requires very good technique and the risk of falling has serious consequences.
High Exposure (E3)
In case of a fall, death is highly likely.
Remoteness
Away from help but easily accessed.
