The Riverbed

The Riverbed is no secret, in fact it’s one of the most popular unmarked glades on the mountain. But that doesn’t make it any less of a treat. As you ski down Chin Clip, look to skiers right. About half way down you’ll see a sideslip entrance into a tight little gully. From here, it looks deceptively difficult. But after you enter, it opens up into a 12-14 foot wide gully. Changes are you’ll see other people skiing it as well. There are a few small mandatory ice cliffs that are easy to negotiate. About half way down you’ll see an orange rope, this was put here to prevent skiers from sending it off a large waterfall into a pool of water. Traverse out of the riverbed into the woods to the right. From there you can ski a wide hardwood glade called Whitewater or cut back into The Riverbed. Both options end on Chin Clip Runout.
