A short and steep glade for experts
Freeride Skiing Difficult
This short glade lies on the SE terminus of Lizards Back ridge. Access by following the ridge from the summit of "The King" (see description) and wiggle through the trees just above The Nose. Long, narrow rock ridges guard the entrance. Below find a glade with rapidly growing trees. Milk turns on this short face before entering mature timber. Follow the gradient back to the groomed outrun. Watch out for tree wells.
Difficult
