Screaming Baby Map

A popular face that funnels slightly in the middle, Screaming Baby is steep but wide. The upper section is dotted with alpine firs, which hold snow and funnel skiers and riders towards the open funnel below. Keep the buttress that forms T-Slot is on your right or alternately, work the cliff for some airy turns. The left rib of the buttress curves into Screaming Baby, offering some fun turns when laden with snow. An obvious slot through the trees below the buttress offer more turns.
