Berry Patch Map

This fun run is really three separate slots through the trees. Thanks to a large avalanche on Rock Face in 2013, many of the trees on the right side of Berry Patch were destroyed. This has provided more skiing in this popular run. Access from Eagle's Drop or Kelly's Gap Road. Berry Patch is the apron below the permanently closed Rock Face. Watch for rocks below Kelly's Gap Road. Rock Face avalanches regularly. Do not stand under Rock Face during high avalanche hazard.
