Description

Starting off with a lot of exposure, it may be necessary to hike down into the face to avoid going over rocks where the wind has scoured off the snow.

Heading to skiers left will provide the easiest entry with more challenging couloirs to the right.

The initial descent will be very steep followed by a long and consistent ride out with plenty of room to lay into those powder turns.

Keep skiers left to head back inbounds of Arapahoe Basin Ski Area or continue down the center fall line to meet up with the pass road.

Users will encounter flat sections on the way out so touring equipment or snowshoes are required.
